Abstract

Three challenges face development studies and development studies institutions-the three 'C's'. The first 'C' is coverage: making sure that the sector has sufficient coverage of new topics. The second 'C' is capacities: recognising that growth in the number and strength of developing country institutions requires developed country institutions to re-think their role. The third 'C' is communications: using new technology to deliver policy messages faster and more effectively. With the geographical scope of the development studies 'industry' also changing, as more countries reach middle income status, change management becomes a high priority.
