Since the 1990s, developing countries have made remarkable progress, but it has been a highly diverse journey. The lines between traditional industrialized countries have become somewhat blurred as a result. However, it is important to note that not all countries have succeeded in this endeavor, and some have only made limited progress. The concept of a "Third World" and the idea of common development problems no longer adequately capture the reality of the global landscape. Development has become a universal requirement for all states, and this textbook aims to break down and assess development efforts based on key development goals.

This book is a translation of the original German edition "Entwicklungspolitik" by Joachim Betz, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2021. The translation was accomplished with the assistance of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was conducted primarily in terms of content, ensuring that the book reads stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
