They are written by researchers with a deep knowledge of developments in the Global South.

What explains their current level of development and future dynamics? And what are the outstanding factors influencing social policies in the Global South?The chapters were commissioned and written with the express purpose of offering an overview of research on social policies at the regional level and at the national level in countries with large populations, covering research in all developing regions.
