Human Development
Richard Ponzio, Department of State, USA
Series: Global Institutions
The purpose of the book is to examine the conceptual evolution of “social
development” during the post-colonial era, and see how various institutions of the
UN system have tried to engage with this issue, both in terms of intellectual and
technical advance, and operationally. The book examines this through a series of
engaging case studies - humanitarian enterprise, hunger and malnutrition, disease,
education and water resources.

TEXTBOOK
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
For a People Centered Development Agenda?
Sakiko Fukuda-Parr, The New School, New York, USA
Series: Global Institutions
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are a set of 8 goals to
be achieved by 2015 for reducing global poverty. The MDGs
constitute one of the most important global institutions today
because of their origins, their ambitions and their effective role
in shaping international development efforts. In developing
this argument, Sakiko Fukuda-Parr analyses:
• whether the goals are adequate as benchmarks for the
Millennium Declaration and the UN conference commitments
• how the goals came to be formulated the way they were,
identifying key actors and their motivations, the support
they received and the obstacles they faced, the nature of the criticisms levelled
• how the goals affected policy change on the part of both developing countries and
the international community
• how the goals affected policy change on the part of donors and the international
development community
• if the goals have had an impact on accelerating poverty reduction, drawing on the
multitude of reports prepared at global, national, and sub-national levels.
