Development Studies Association

The UK association for all those who research, teach and study global development issues.

The Development Studies Association promotes and advances international development as a field of study, research and action. We aim to deepen understanding of how global poverty, inequalities, conflict and environmental destruction are produced, sustained and may be overcome, and how a better future may be advanced.

We aim to:

• advance understanding of international development
• share information on development research and teaching
• encourage more equitable North-South and interdisciplinary exchange and cooperation
