The Development Management Study Group of the UK Development Studies Association (DSA) brings together both practical and academic interests in the organization and management of development.
The group aims to gather geographically dispersed, multi- methodological and multi-disciplinary research and policy interests with a view to extending the boundaries of theoretical and empirical study.
While research will necessarily throw up uncomfortable answers to difficult questions, we seek to use our work pragmatically to generate both critical reflection and informed action. Our aim is thus to raise awareness of the possibilities and limitations of development management and, in the process, create an active community of practitioners and researchers.
