As the world confronts climate instability, widening inequalities, and deep social fractures, dominant models of development—shaped by extractive growth and technocratic fixes—are proving insufficient. Dialogues on Development: Rethinking Development for a Just and Sustainable Future brings together scholars, practitioners, and thought leaders who argue that genuine progress requires a profound moral reorientation of development itself. Drawing on diverse fields—economic policy, labour rights, cooperatives, water governance, youth leadership, pastoralism, crafts, agroecology, biodiversity, and technology—the essays expose the limits of fragmented, short-term approaches. They highlight alternatives rooted in long-term thinking, participatory governance, and a willingness to draw upon diverse ways of knowing, alongside an ethical understanding of human dignity, justice, and interdependence.
