International Development Studies (ids) focuses on developing countries per se, examining issues of global applicability of common concern to all regions; is interdisciplinary in nature; fosters studies at the international, national, and sub-national levels and is at once theoretical, policy-oriented, and empirical. While ids programs have a clear commitment to an interdisciplinary approach, they each have different ways of accomplishing it. They are, therefore, very eclectic and variegated. There is now a clear need for strengthening core funding of ids programs, and building a core staff of genuinely interdisciplinary teachers and researchers. The study of ids is important not only for pragmatic and humanitarian reasons, but also for reasons of enlightened self-interest. It also helps us to understand ourselves and the challenges we face as much as it does the people of developing countries and the problems they are encountering. RÉSUMÉ Les études du développement international (edi) portent sur les pays en développement, mais examinent des questions d'application générale ayant un intérêt pour toutes les régions du monde; elles adoptent une démarche interdisciplinaire; elles s'intéressent aux questions internationales, nationales et infranationales, mais traitent aussi bien de la théorie, des politiques que de la recherche empirique. Même si les programmes d'edi sont clairement axés sur une approche interdisciplinaire, ils le font de différentes manières. Par conséquent, ils sont très éclectiques et variés. Il faut maintenant renforcer le financement de base des programmes d'edi et constituer un bassin de personnel composé de professeurs et de chercheurs vraiment interdisciplinaires. L'étude du développement international est importante non seulement pour des raisons pragmatiques et humanitaires, mais aussi pour des motifs personnels, à savoir le désir de connaissance. Elle nous aide en effet à nous comprendre et à relever nos défis autant qu'elle aide les gens des pays en développement à se comprendre et à régler leurs problèmes
