The Institute of Development Studies (IDS) is an institution for development research, teaching and learning, and impact and communications, based at the University of Sussex.[1]

History and leadership

IDS was founded in 1966 by economist Dudley Seers who was director from 1967 until 1972. From 1972 to 1981 Sir Richard Jolly was the director of IDS, and later authored A short history of IDS: a personal reflection. John Toye was director of IDS from 1987–97.

The current director of IDS is Melissa Leach, a social anthropologist and professorial fellow at IDS, who succeeded Lawrence Haddad in 2014. Prior to her appointment she was director of the STEPS Centre.[2] Leach's recent work has explored the politics of science and knowledge in policy processes linked to environment and health; cultural and political dimensions of vaccine delivery; medical research trials, emerging infectious diseases, and ecology-health linkages.[3]

Structure and research

IDS consists of twelve research clusters or teams which concentrate their research on specific angles of development:

  • The Business, Markets and the State cluster[4] investigates how and under what conditions businesses and market systems enable or constrain pathways for positive development. Current research includes a Rising Powers programme focusing on the economic growth of the BRICS.
  • The Cities cluster[5] has a focus on the circumstances of poor and vulnerable people within cities and explores ways in which different forms of inequalities interact to produce both good and bad outcomes.
  • The Conflict and Violence cluster[6] research is developing new insights into how people live and interact in contexts of conflict and violence, and what institutions best support them.
  • The Digital cluster[7] challenges prevailing technocratic views by highlighting inequalities that Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) may cause.
  • The Gender and Sexuality cluster[8] research looks at factors where people in developing countries are affected by others either persecuting them due to their sexual orientation, beliefs, religion, their gender or social class.
  • The Governance cluster[9] work on addressing the tensions between political liberalisation and globalisation, tensions between the politics of growth and the politics of equity the potential tensions and synergies between development concerns such as the anti-poverty agenda, and the gender-equity agenda and the environmental protection agenda.

Funding

IDS is a registered charity.[10] The top five funders of IDS are:[11]

  • the UK Department for International Development
