Based on fieldwork and research in Rajasthan's Udaipur District over an eight-year period, this local ethnography of development explores how interpretations of NGO-driven development are continually being renegotiated and redefined in local settings. The main focus of this study is the village-level interaction between non-governmental organizations, their personnel, and village participants. The author documents the cultural, political, and development histories of this area of northern India, known internationally among development practitioners and donor organizations for its large number of non-governmental organizations.This book explores the multiple local perspectives and often conflicting interpretations of development which arise from this interaction, and which are profoundly influenced by this region's socio-political history, as well as by linkages to national and globally-situated events and institutions. One of the linkages explored here is the often unexamined role of government in the formulation of NGO policies and strategies.The area's local history includes the effects of the national construction and reification of the cultural categories 'Tribal' and 'Bhil'. With origins in the British colonial period, these demographic labels continue to influence perceptions of identity as well as development strategy and policy.As demonstrated throughout this book, local histories of group identity and inter-group relations resonate in NGO-driven development strategies of the 1990s. The NGO sector of Udaipur, and the villages within which they operate, are the locus of events and forces with a national and global reach.

This book aims to provide a philosophical underpinning to translation and relate translation to development. The second aim flows from the first section’s argument that societies emerge out of, amongst others, complex translational interactions amongst individuals. It will do so by conceptualising translation from a complexity and emergence point of view and relating this view on emergent semiotics to some of the most recent social research. It will further fulfill its aims by providing empirical data from the South African context concerning the relationship between translation and development. The book intends to be interdisciplinary in nature and to foster interdisciplinary research and dialogue by relating the newest trends in translation theory, i.e. agency theory in the sociology of translation, to development theory within sociology. Data in the volume will be drawn from fields that have received very little if any attention in translation studies, i.e. local economic development, the knowledge economy and the informal economy.

This volume is concerned with the profession and discipline of interpretation. The range of perspectives presented in this collection of essays exemplifies the rich diversity of the profession as we know it today. Interpreting has been known to exist through the ages, though it was not necessarily considered a profession as such. We can attribute the current standing of the practice, in large part, to the historical circumstances which determined it and the efforts of those who responded to the need for communication within these circumstances. In the same way, our anticipation of future needs and the measures we are taking to prepare our next generation of interpreters to meet them will undoubtedly shape the direction our profession takes in the 21st century. The contributors to this volume are practicing interpreters, teachers of interpretation, and administrators.

Haider A. Khan goes beyond the study of catch-up technology and raises the question of innovation processes that are the key to the future growth and prosperity of the East Asian economies. This is particularly important in the aftermath of the Asian financial crises that have cost these economies much. How can newly industrialized economies achieve cohesive systems of innovation for sustainable growth? The author offers a novel theory of innovation systems with concrete case studies to illustrate its usefulness.
