Development studies is a multidisciplinary branch of social science. Development studies is offered as a specialized Master's degree in a number of universities, and, less commonly, as an undergraduate degree. It has grown in popularity as a subject of study since the early 1990s, and has been most widely taught and researched in the third world and in countries with a colonial history, such as the UK, where development studies originated.〔Kothari, U. (ed), ''A Radical History of Development Studies: Individuals, Institutions and Ideologies'' – but see ''The Journal of Peasant Studies'' 34/1 (2007) for an alternative view.〕 Students of development studies often choose careers in international organisations such as the United Nations, World Bank, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), private sector development consultancy firms, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) bodies and research centers. ==Professional Bodies== Throughout the world, a number of professional bodies for Development Studies have been founded:〔(About ICCDA )〕 * Europe: European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes (EADI) * Latin America: Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales (CLACSO) * Asia: Asian Political and International Studies Association (APISA) * Africa: Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA) and Organization for Social Science Research in Eastern and Southern Africa (OSSREA) * Arabic world: Arab Institutes and Centers for Economic and Social Development Research (AICARDES) The common umbrella organisation of these association is the Inter-regional Coordinating Committee of Development Associations (ICCDA). In the UK and Ireland, the Development Studies Association is a major source of information for research on and studying in development studies.
