The process of development can be understood in several distinctive ways.One is as a project of managed change that emerged from decolonisation and the Cold War and is now dominated by aid agencies,institutions of global economic governance,

banks and national states. Another involves economic, Barbara Harriss-White political,social,and cultural transformations spanning the colonial and post-colonial periods. A third focuses on the fact that global capitalist development is now strategy Research facing physical limits,as a result of which the material parameters within which it takes place are being changed in ways which are especially dangerous to people at the economic and geographical margins. QEH’s research strategy stems from the view that all these approaches – and their inter-relationships – require continual critical scrutiny.Of prime importance is the preservation of research conditions which support the intellectual freedom needed to do this,and which encourage a plurality of approaches. QEH scholars are committed independent researchers whose interests and approaches evolve over time. QEH is also a teaching department.Its research is closely informed by the interests of future generations of scholars and practitioners of In a Panchayat room,Premnagar,India development. We try to integrate the work of senior and junior researchers,including students.

Development studies is an issue-driven and activist implicate complex processes which are inadequately project. We therefore encourage the purposeful addressed within single cognate disciplines.QEH’s engagement of research with those responsible for strategy therefore requires the application of insights and affected by its consequences – ‘users’, from many disciplines. Within QEH we have ‘stakeholders’ and those without a stake. We attempt disciplinary strength in anthropology,economics, to make sense of the uncomfortable knowledge that gender studies,history,international relations,law, many of these interests compete against one another. politics and sociology,as well as in the now officially The normative project of managed change has recognised discipline of development studies itself. involved continual searches for alternatives.Criteria For the vitality of both disciplinary and multi- of relevance are politicised.They change;and reasons disciplinary work,teamwork within QEH and/or for those changes must be understood.QEH’s networks outside it are essential.They take a range of research strategy aspires to understand the politics of forms and in the next few years they will cover the development policy and to construct reasoned following substantive fields (with QEH staff in proposals for alternatives. brackets): Though the study of development was dominated by • Agrarian change (Dercon,Alexander,Chatty, economics at the start of the interventionist project, Harriss-White,Mustapha) the various ways of understanding development • Children and youth (Boyden,Hart)
