Review of Development and Change (RDC)

Review of Development and Change is over two decades old and is the successor to the monthly Bulletin: Madras Development Seminar Series started by Malcolm Adiseshiah. The MIDS Bulletin, as it came to be called, shared with the public the papers presented and discussed at the institute's monthly seminars. It attracted the attention of scholars as well as the general public. The last regular issue of the Bulletin was published in December 1994, and the journal Review of Development and Change was launched in 1996. Review of Development and Change is a biannual peer-reviewed journal and welcomes contributions from social science scholars across the world. Review of Development and Change, a peer-reviewed journal, aims to examine diverse aspects of the changes taking place in society, the Global South in particular. It encourages multidisciplinary theoretical and applied scholarship that perceives problems of development and social change in depth, documents them with care, interprets them with rigour and communicates the findings accessibly. The journal recognises that Development crosses disciplinary boundaries, and hence it encourages a holistic understanding of how Development works. MIDS has an active publication programme and all the works published by the institute since its inception in 1971 are available for reference in the library and sale, subject to availability of stock. Review of Development and Change is a half-yearly peer-reviewed research journal now in its 21st year. The MIDS Working Papers Series comprises papers reporting on the work of faculty, students, affiliates and visiting scholars of the institute and may also include papers co-authored by MIDS faculty and students with external scholars. Books and monographs: The institute has brought out a number of books, project reports and monographs over the years. Other publications: The institute published a number of other series of publications such as discussion papers and monthly bulletins which have since been discontinued. Previous issues of some of these publications are available in stock. Current focus areas are issues of agriculture, environment, industry, poverty and inequality, social sector and urbanisation.
