“…From a purely human perspective, a certain minimum threshold to meet basic human needs may be defined as a basic human security. The basic human needs concept was introduced in the International Labour Organisation's World Employment Conference in 1976 (Jolly 1976) to measure absolute poverty in developing countries. This originally included food (water), shelter and clothing, but has been broadened to include notions of well-being, health, and economic and social development.…”

The publications in this series record the work and thinking of IWMI researchers, and knowledge that the Institute's scientific management feels is worthy of documenting. This series will ensure that scientific data and other information gathered or prepared as a part of the research work of the Institute are recorded and referenced. Working Papers could include project reports, case studies, conference or workshop proceedings, discussion papers or reports on progress of research, country-specific research reports, monographs, etc. Working Papers may be copublished, by IWMI and partner organizations. Although most of the reports are published by IWMI staff and their collaborators, we welcome contributions from others. Each report is reviewed internally by IWMI staff. The reports are published and distributed both in hard copy and electronically (www.iwmi.org) and where possible all data and analyses will be available as separate downloadable files. Reports may be copied freely and cited with due acknowledgment. About IWMI IWMI's mission is to provide evidence-based solutions to sustainably manage water and land resources for food security, people's livelihoods and the environment. IWMI works in partnership with governments, civil society and the private sector to develop scalable agricultural water management solutions that have a tangible impact on poverty reduction, food security and ecosystem health.

“…O crescimento econômico é defi nido como um aumento no valor de mercado dos bens e serviços produzidos ao longo do tempo (KUZNETS, 1955;DE LA CROIX;MICHEL, 2002) A teoria do desenvolvimento é constituída a partir de um conjunto epistemológico que versa sobre como a mudança desejável de uma sociedade é mais bem compreendida MORRIS, 1997;HETTNE, 2009). Tal concepção recorre a uma variedade de abordagens das ciências sociais, tais como: (i) teoria da modernização (GIDDENS, 1990), (ii) estruturalismo (ARNDT, 1985), (iii) teoria da dependência (FERRARO, 2008), teoria das necessidades básicas (JOLLY, 1976;STREETEN;BURKI, 1978), (iv) teoria neoliberal (CLARKE, 2005); e as teorias recentes, como: (vi) teoria pós-desenvolvimento (ESTEVA, 1987;SACHS, 1992;ESCOBAR, 2000)), teoria do desenvolvimento sustentável (BRUNDTLAND, 1987;ELKINGTON, 2004;KOCMANOVÁ et al 2011), e a (viii) teoria do desenvolvimento humano (UL HAQ, 1996;SEN, 1999).…”

O artigo discute as diferentes lentes teóricas empregadas ao longo do tempo na compreensão do desenvolvimento como crescimento econômico. Os autores acreditam que, incorporando múltiplos pontos de vista da revisão de trabalhos empíricos e teóricos, é possível desenvolver um modelo abrangente dos efeitos do desenvolvimento e do crescimento econômico a partir de uma perspectiva pluralista para avaliar os fenômenos organizacionais que têm relação com o desempenho das cidades. Para isso, foram investigadas 37 cidades brasileiras com população aproximada de 140 mil habitantes, considerando 29 indicadores de natureza econômica, social e de conservação dos recursos naturais. As observações empíricas mostram que a qualidade dos atributos dos indicadores institucionais explica uma variação signifi cativa do desempenho das cidades, que poderá ser captado por duas dimensões: econômica e social. No entanto, dez indicadores institucionais apresentam alta dessemelhança, o que assinala baixa qualidade dos atributos para representar o desempenho. Palavras-chave: Desenvolvimento. Crescimento econômico. Indicadores de desempenho. Desempenho das cidades brasileiras.

“…(vi) The setting up of institutions to facilitate popular participation in the development process through trade unions and similar organisations, in order to ensure a continuing national commitment to a basic needs approach' (Jolly, 1976). Basic needs is the most dangerous theme of the redistribution school to be put forward thus far, because it claims that the worst aspects of underdevelopment-the ingredients of poverty-can be eradicated, for all, in the short period left to this century.…”

AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT AND FARM INCOME DISTRIBUTION IN LDCs

There were remarkable and sustained increases in agricultural and food production in the developing countries over the last three decades. But the fruits of this progress were not shared by all, and many remain in poverty. Some believe this due to the unequal distribution of benefits and accordingly claim that an agricultural strategy which focuses on reducing disparities of income, assets and access is the most important objective for agricultural development. This approach is justified by claims of wide and increasing disparities of income in the agricultural sectors of LDCs. This paper looks at the evidence for such claims and finds that they cannot be supported by hard evidence. Indeed, the few valid studies of agricultural income distribution show modest disparities. Accordingly, redistribution strategies, especially those aimed at uni‐modal farm sectors, are rejected as unnecessary, undesirable and unachievable (without destroying the main spring of agricultural progress). On the contrary, it is urged that growth in productivity, output and incomes should be the dominant development objective to encourage, as many examples show, the enterprise, ability and energy of small farmers and their families. Such a strategy produces a degree of unequal distribution of benefits which reflects the distribution of personal qualities and endowments and acts as an incentive to their exercise. To keep disparities within bounds, agricultural policies relating to pricing, extension, credit, research and so on should aim at widening the number of small farmer beneficiaries of agricultural development.
