Development Studies

Development Studies is an academic discipline that embraces problem-oriented and cross-disciplinary studies, utilizing more than one discipline, including multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary approaches, and drawing on diverse theoretical and practical perspectives. 


It encompasses theory (i.e., abstract concepts, theories, and frameworks), research (i.e., systematic studies and publications), and practice (i.e., programs/policies, and implementations/applications) at local, national, and global levels to enhance and advance the collective development.
