:''For other forms of development, see Development (disambiguation).'' International development or global development is a wide concept concerning level of development on an international scale. It is the basis for international classifications such as developed country, developing country and least developed country. There are however many schools of thought and conventions regarding, which are the exact features constituting development of a country. Historically it has been largely synonymous with economic development. Recently it is also often used in a holistic and multi-disciplinary context of human development as well as other concepts like competitiveness, quality of life or subjective well-being.〔(Video with prof.

These institutions focus on alleviating poverty and improving living conditions in previously colonised countries.〔(2009). Development. In D.
