In Development

In Development is a new magazine dedicated to exploring how progress happens — or doesn’t happen — in the developing world.

We publish long-form, narrative-driven essays about the ideas, policies, technologies, and institutions that shape low- and middle-income countries. Our pieces are empirically grounded, intellectually serious and also fun to read. We celebrate success in development, but also believe in grappling with failure.

All issues are free to read, so we are entirely donor-supported.
