Summary/Abstract |
In the context of rapidly evolving development landscapes, the practice of development management has become increasingly complex. Trends, such as a decline in the overall volume of official development assistance, growing domestic inequality and the localisation agenda, are seeing a shift in the way aid is delivered and managed. This is requiring development managers from the Global North to be much more aware of their own values and world view and to be highly skilled in areas such as relationship management, communication, facilitation, ethics and advocacy alongside more traditional competencies such as monitoring and evaluation. Massey University's own research with the New Zealand global development sector supports this view and we have adapted our core development management course accordingly. Through pedagogy that is value‐based, ethically informed and practice‐orientated, we are working to equip our graduates to adapt to the complexities of development management. This includes prioritising ethics and relationship management and being aware of our responsibilities to Tangata Whenua as a Treaty‐led university. Our universities are well placed to offer the kind of innovative development studies education that will put our graduates and the communities that they serve on a pathway to better development outcomes in the 2020s.

Summary/Abstract |
A game theoretic analysis for Ladakh standoff is presented in this article. Starting with Prisoner’s Dilemma (PD) game, a more flexible game, known as De-escalation game is derived by incorporating the concepts of retaliation and non-escalation probabilities in the PD game. It is shown that by including these concepts, many new possibilities open up for India, which permit it to impose penalty on the aggressor. The intensity of retaliatory actions may be tailored according to the perceived threat; and this strategy allows India to dissuade the aggressor without risking a war or accepting defeat. Finally, options available to India in the light of game theoretic analysis are presented in the article.

Summary/Abstract |
IN THE MIDDLE of the current decade, mankind discovered that economic globalization which, at the turn of the 21st century, had accelerated economic, scientific and technical progress and which had looked as a positive phenomenon responsible for the highest stage of internationalization of economic life (the world which had finally overcome its division into two systems embraced a single model of market economy; it achieved homogenization of global economic expanse and a global revolution in information technologies which ensured a higher level of capital and regional consolidation, etc.), was infested with contradictions, disproportions and had other defects. They are coming forward with an increasing clarity as the factors behind the stalling progress of economic globalization.
