Index of references

List of references in alphabetical order of authors

The course for the Diploma in Integrated Development (Dip. Int. Dev.) is an on-line e-learning course. For the convenience of students, most, but not all, references used are available on-line. The links used are therefore subject to web-site changes, which are frequent. Links are regularly checked. However, there will nearly always be links in the list which are not up-to-date. If you find any, please inform us at Contact us page and choose Consultant and Developer on drop down menu and write.

The Model for integrated development touches a wide range of academic sectors and subjects. The presentation of a detailed list of references for all sectors and subjects would on its own constitute a major academic enterprise, without providing a great deal of added value to the Diploma course. The reference list is therefore mainly limited to works cited during the course. Some of the works cited in turn contain useful reference lists for students wishing to deepen their research on specific topics.

Many formal and academic sources tend to re-state problems instead of providing practical solutions to them. Original, down-to-earth ,constructive work is quite rare and sometimes comes from “unexpected” sources. The frequency of citation of a reference is not necessarily a reflection of its quality ! A good example of this is the Plan of Implementation of the Millennium Goals.
