'An indispensable guide ... Spicker's final chapter is a masterly review of the subject.' David Donnison, University of Glasgow 'Surprisingly compact, this succinct lexicon explains over 200 technical terms that the student or practitioner of international development should aim to be able to quote verbatim.
