Debating for Development: Why we need to learn how to argue our corner   | Institute of Development Studies

Marcela Gomez Valdes We live in a world where it feels increasingly vital to stand up and make the case for the positive changes we want to see whether that’s protecting rights or securing our wellbeing. International development finds itself in an increasingly precarious position, from grassroots civil and women’s rights Movements being supressed by increasingly authoritarian governments, to the nationalist ideologies steering countries’ foreign and domestic policy, to Trump pulling out of the WHO and Paris Climate agreement, to rising levels of multidimensional inequality significantly threaten people’s wellbeing.  It is clear that the validity of foundational principles that international development is built upon have come into question and are even in danger of being lost forever. It is not enough anymore for development actors to merely speak truth to power; what counts is how convincing they are in presenting and speaking that truth.
