This book takes a historical approach to analyse ideologies, policy approaches and development systems that have constructed the paradigm of international social development. It aims to review the social construction of "development" by tracing the historical dynamics of the modern ideologies and political economy of industrialization, colonization, the Cold War, and globalisation; to examine the process of reconstruction of development as "social development" based on alternate ideologies and alternate policy approaches and review the roles played by the development systems; and to trace the history of social policy approaches from welfare to rights-based, universal, comprehensive and preventative social policies for social development, and identify the roles played by non-government organizations and the social work profession.

Murli Desai was on the faculty of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai, in India from 1984 and took voluntary retirement in 2006. Subsequently, she worked as a Senior Visiting Fellow in the Department of Social Work at the National University of Singapore and Professor in the Department of Social Welfare, at the Seoul National University of South Korea.
