Working Paper Series

The Centre for Development Studies Working Paper Series is intended to encourage Development Studies faculty and students to disseminate empirical research findings in a timely manner and stimulate discussion on issues specific to development.

In addition to creating an avenue for faculty and students to share their research, the Working Paper Series will promote the generation and use of quality research in the field of international development by:

• Becoming an intellectual focal point for innovative thinking and research by facilitating the wide dissemination of research results relevant to the interests and concerns of students, researchers, policy makers, and practitioners across the international development community worldwide
• Heightening the Centre’s national and international profile by connecting individuals and encouraging interaction among the international development academic and non-academic communities both within and outside New Zealand
• Establishing stronger links with government policy makers, particularly the New Zealand Agency for International Development (NZAID), and nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) to enhance the applied content of Development Studies programmes
• Providing an opportunity for faculty and students to receive constructive feedback on their ideas and research before submission to peer reviewed journals or other publications
• Enabling faculty members’ and students’ work to be cited by other researchers in the field.
