The supervisory team will be led by Professor Pritam Singh ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>). The so-called Third World countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America are faced with huge development challenges both in the theoretical as well as practical-policy domains. Ecological constraints have further added to the complexities of these challenges which various paradigms of sustainable development are trying to grapple with. The current crisis in advanced capitalist economies accompanied by the rising economic powers of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) nations is leading to a spatial shift in the global economy. This spatial shift is leading to complex patterns of global movements and flows of capital, labour and commodities. The implications of this spatial shift are enormous both for the developed world as well as the developing economies. There are huge potentialities for innovative quantitative and qualitative research in interrogating the complexities of the development challenge in the Third World. Research proposals using the political economy and sustainability approaches to these development challenges are welcome. In particular, the proposals articulating the eco-socialist theoretical and practical-policy approaches would be especially welcomed. The research could be focussed either on an individual country or a specific sector (eg agriculture, food, labour migration, FDIs, fair trade, poverty reduction etc).
