Reviews

'This book convincingly demonstrates that the application of the capability approach to development policy and practice should be prioritised... by both researchers and practitioners. It provides both a thoughtful overview of 'why' and 'how' to move from theory to practice, and nine case studies (from rural India and Upper Egypt to the UK and Germany) that give detailed analyses of the application of the capability approach. Essential reading for all who are seeking to promote human flourishing.' - David Hulme, University of Manchester, UK 'People often ask 'how do I apply the capability approach in practice - it is a convincing idea in theory but what does it mean in concrete?' This book bridges the gap with a collection of wide ranging case studies from Brazil, Egypt, France, Germany, India and elsewhere. A must read for scholars and practitioners in search of a people centred and equitable development.' - Sakiko Fukuda-Parr, The New School University, New York, USA 'This book is a refreshing contribution to the literature on the operationalisation of the Capability Approach. The essays and case studies in this rich collection provide a lucid variety of accounts of how to apply the human development paradigm to the real world. This international team of scholars has produced an outstanding reference work for scholars, policy-makers and non-specialists.' - Flavio Comim, University of Cambridge, UK
