Adaptation and Development : Issues, Evidence and Policy Relevance -- PART I: ADAPTATION AND DEVELOPMENT: CONCEPTS AND ISSUES -- Utilitarianism, 'Adaptation' and Paternalism; M.Qizilbash -- Adaptation: Implications for Development in Theory and Practice -- PART II: ADAPTATION AND DEVELOPMENT: THREE CASE STUDIES -- Aspirations, Adaptation and Subjective Well-Being of Rural-Urban Migrants in China; J.Knight & R.Gunatilaka -- A Multidimensional Analysis of Adaptation in a Developing Country Context; A.Barr -- Adaptation, Poverty and Subjective Well-Being: Evidence from South India; D.Neff -- PART III: ADAPTATION AND DEVELOPMENT: SPECIFIC ISSUES -- Subjective Well-being, Disability and Adaptation: A Case Study from Rural Ethiopia; M.Fafchamps & B.Kebede -- Adaptation of the Rural Working Class in India: A Case Study of Migrant Workers; B.Reddy & W.Olsen.

In contrast to previous attempts to examine adaptation to climate change in developing countries, the authors focus on how individuals and broader social groups adjust their aspirations, mental states, social values and behaviour as well as practices in response to changes in their personal and social circumstances. Employing a unique blend of cross-disciplinary work from economics, psychology, sociology and philosophy, this innovative book draws on quantitative and qualitative techniques. The three sections deal with conceptual issues, empirical studies and specific topics (gender, disability, migration) relating to adaptation in developing countries. It includes detailed case studies of adaptation in China, Ethiopia, India and South Africa and underlines the case for listening to the poor by suggesting that people who become worse off are less likely to lower their aspirations 'or restrict their values' than is commonly thought by some philosophers and social scientists.
