Reformers in International Development

Reformers in International Development (Routledge) is an exploration of the lives and accomplishments of five influential international development leaders: Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Domingo Cavallo, Ela Bhatt, Dzingai Mutumbuka, and Adolfo Figueroa. Ferranti draws on his decades-long relationships with each of them, examining how these five leaders overcame significant personal and professional obstacles to advance poverty reduction, human rights, and social justice in their respective countries and around the world. Through firsthand accounts of their experiences, this book challenges conventional understandings of international development, instead offering insight into how influential figures from Africa, Asia, and Latin America are actively shaping the future of the global community.
