Synopsis

`It is a guide of vital importance to researchers, trainers and extension workers, especially those collaborating with communities in Third World countries′ - European Journal of Development Research

This book provides a guide to a variety of quantitative and qualitative methods for research and practice in development studies. Using practical examples, the author examines both the concept of participation and ethical considerations in fieldwork, and stresses methodological pluralism and dialogue in development planning.
