Sobre IBD

This volume explodes myths about social welfare and development and offers a critical interface between 'comparative social welfare' and 'new social development.' Brij Mohan has assembled a leading group of scholars and educators to reflect on climate change, economics, and social justice and together unfold the dynamics and dialectics at the variegated nexus of human-social development. In his own chapters, Mohan draws on a life’s experience as a dedicated social work pioneer. His findings explore new dimensions of social practice, which enhance its relevance in a globalized culture that breeds social meltdowns, economic inequality, and global injustice.

Human incompleteness and life’s absurdities-hope and despair trapped in the paradox of pain and pleasure-are dramati...

  • Development, Poverty of Culture, and Social Policy
    Brij Mohan
    The 'cycle of poverty,' a myth manufactured and sustained by the Parsonian pundits of social theory and welfare, has blamed the victims of oppression with impunity. Brij Mohan deconstructs Oscar Lewis’ Culture of Poverty theory and its applications in the fields of social welfare, policy, and development. Poverty, a global scourge, is defined as a political rather than an econo...
