Topic Guide: Security and development
The inter-relationship between security and development has grown in profile from the early 1990s onwards as donors and development practitioners have realised that it is impractical to consider development without taking security and conflict issues into account. International security actors have also realised that their short-term operations will not bring sustainable benefit without coordination with longer-term development work.
Despite the current high profile of this topic, it is still a relatively young literature. New research will be added to the guide as it becomes available.
This topic guide was prepared by Zoe Scott of the GSDRC. The GSDRC also appreciates the contributions of Malcolm Chalmers, Department of Peace Studies, University of Bradford. Comments, questions or documents for consideration should be sent to Zoe@gsdrc.org
