1 For similar overviews with a UN focus see Richard Jolly et al., UN Contributions to Development Thinking and Practice (Bloomington and Indianapolis: Indiana University Press, 2004); Craig Murphy, The United Nations Development Programme: A Better Way? (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2006); or, more generally and recently, Corinna Unger, International Development: A Post-War History (London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2018).
