Rather than focusing on the outcomes or conditions of development, the contributors concentrate on the quality of development processes, suggesting that a common good dynamic is key in order to trigger development. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eResulting from more than three years of research by an international group of over fifty scholars, the volume advocates for a modern understanding of the common good-rather than a theological or metaphysical good-in societies by emphasising the social practice of 'commoning' at its core. It suggests that the dynamic equilibrium of common goods in a society should be at the centre of development efforts. For this purpose, it develops a matrix of common good dynamics, accounting for how institutions, social norms and common practices interconnect by identifying five key drivers not only of development, but human development (\u003cem\u003eagency\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003egovernance\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ejustice\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003estability\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ehumanity\u003c\/em\u003e). Based on this matrix, the contributors suggest a possible metric for measuring the quality of these dynamics. The last section of the book highlights the possibilities enabled by this approach through a series of case studies. \u003cbr\u003eThe concept of the common good has recently enjoyed a revival and inspired practitioners keen to look beyond the shortcomings of political and economic liberalism. This book builds on those efforts to think beyond the agenda of twentieth-century development policies, and will be of interest to those working in the fields of development, economics, sociology, philosophy and political science.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 402\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.25 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 06, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42118480756871,"sku":"9781800644052","price":92.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/00ccc84ab57f3c0b98ce3e82b77124db.webp?v=1732533702","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/a-common-good-approach-to-development-collective-dynamics-of-development-processes-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
