Development Policy Review is the refereed journal that makes the crucial links between research and policy in international development. Edited by staff of the Overseas Development Institute, the London-based think-tank on international development and humanitarian issues, it publishes single articles and theme issues on topics at the forefront of current development policy debate.
Coverage includes the latest thinking and research on poverty-reduction strategies, inequality and social exclusion, property rights and sustainable livelihoods, globalisation in trade and finance, and the reform of global governance. Informed, rigorous, multi-disciplinary and up-to-the-minute, DPR is an indispensable tool for development researchers and practitioners alike.
Development Policy Review is published for the Overseas Development Institute (ODI)

NEW! - Development Policy Review Debates
This article is the first in an occasional series of DPR Debates, designed to illuminate specific issues of international development policy. Each debate will bring together two well-known researchers or practitioners, giving them the opportunity, over three rounds, to test and challenge each other's ideas. The debates are intended to be robust but accessible, rooted in rigorous research but useful to the wide readership of DPR.

As a policy-oriented development economist, I find the Development Policy Review invaluable and indeed indispensable reading. I derive useful information and stimulation from each issue and always look forward to the next.

'DPR reflects the bridge-building activities of the ODI, in that it manages to combine good academic contributions with articles by civil servants, bank officials, development advisers and writers from private business. '
