    Robin Broad, John CavanaghBOOKDevelopment Redefined2015

This book takes readers on a journey through the rise and fall of the one-size-fits-all model of development that richer nations began imposing on poorer ones three dec…

  • Poorer Countries and the Environment: Friends or Foes

    Open AccessRobin Broad, John CavanaghARTICLEWorld Development2015Cited by: 12References: 15

  • The development and agriculture paradigms transformed: Reflections from the small-scale organic rice fields of the Philippines

    Robin Broad, John CavanaghARTICLEThe Journal of Peasant Studies2012Cited by: 6References: 24

    This article tracks the debate about development in theory and practice, moving from the global level of the development debate to the rice fields of the Philippines.

They argue that food and farming are currently at the leading edge of the development debate and of the vulnerability versus r…

    Open AccessChris J Packard, Vladimir Bezlyak et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

  • Reframing Development in the Age of Vulnerability: From case studies of the Philippines and Trinidad to new measures of rootedness

    Robin Broad, John CavanaghARTICLEThird World Quarterly2011Cited by: 5

    This article argues that the contemporary triple crises of finance, food and environment, which have shaken the global economy since 2008, have exposed what should be seen as the Achilles heel of the dominant development theory and practice of the past 30 years: vulnerability. We argue that the crises not only add momentum to the delegitimisation of the old model, but also offer legitimacy for paths that lessen vulnerability and increase what we …
