Vulnerable People, Vulnerable States: Redefining the Development Challenge (Routledge, 2012) (with Glen Anderson)
Background information on the series:
In this seminar series we address opportunities, risks and uncertainties for development. Uncertainty, i.e. the unknown unknowns, is a particular challenge. Risk and uncertainty have become a focal topic among development researchers, policy makers and practitioners as worldwide, economy and ecology have been assailed by a series of global crises: financial crisis, high and volatile food and oil price, and/or climate change. These crises present threats to development and to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The understanding, mitigating and controlling of risk and uncertainty is far from being understood. The seminar series form a forum for agenda setting and discussion on related themes with leading experts in this field of research and policy.The Center for Development Research (ZEF) cordially invites you to our next lecture at ZEF held by
