Links to selected publishers on development policy and practice in English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish. Most of the UN and major international aid agencies also publish some material in languages other than English; if they have not been listed below, you should go to the relevant organisation’s homepage and navigate from there. In addition, most major universities have an associated press.

While we cannot provide comprehensive listings, we would be pleased to have your recommendations of other publishers we should feature, particularly from non-OECD countries and from publishers in French, Portuguese, or Spanish.

The listings were all correct on 22 October 2007. Please let us know if you find any broken links - our contact details are at the bottom of the page.
