Global development offers an alternative language to international development that seeks to move beyond some of the more antiquated ways of thinking about global efforts to pursue good change. It seeks to be more attentive to development challenges in all (Northern and Southern) countries, as well as to collective challenges that transcend nation-state boundaries
