Development studies revisited : Twenty-five years of the journal of Development studies.

"The Journal of Development Studies was founded 25 years ago as a professional journal for what had by then become an established sub-discipline within British social science. It was unique in its field in the UK and has remained so: other parallel journals were either effectively US institutions, ordained at a less academic readership. The Journal has consistently published a broad spectrum of British research on development studies - a catholicity that has been reflected in the composition of the Editorial Board over the years - and has always welcomed authors from the USA, the European continent, and above all from the Third World".
