Calling all Pacific scholars!
Are you fed up with reading about what foreigners think about development and aid in your region? Well in this planned issue of Development Policy Review, which is edited by Nayahamui Michelle Rooney, Terence Wood and Regina Scheyvens, we will only publish Pacific people’s voices on aid and development!
We welcome short articles (up to 3,000 words) from Pacific peoples, informed by research and personal experience, on how aid, and development more generally, is affecting the lives of people in the countries they are from. As an initial step, we invite contributors to submit a 300-word abstract. See more info here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/14677679/homepage/callforabstracts
Contributors might like to explore the following questions:
· What do foreign aid and development mean to Pacific Islanders?
· What are the key Pacific Island priorities for foreign aid and development?
· Who are the key actors and how should they shape negotiations and outcomes of foreign aid and development? How should these processes look at different levels?
· What are the current strengths and weaknesses of foreign aid and development in Pacific islands?
· In what ways might foreign aid and development be more mutually beneficial?
The call for abstracts will close on 18th November 2022. Please spread the word among your Pacific friends and colleagues 😊.
