This \u003cem\u003eHandbook\u003c\/em\u003e first provides a theoretical framework for exploring arts and global development, before surveying a comprehensive range of art forms and development practices to explore the potential of the arts to strategically and beneficially contribute to more just and equitable conditions for communities across the globe. Stretching across the arts from theatre, dance, and music to poetry, film, and visual arts, the book covers topics as diverse as health, education, peacebuilding, livelihoods, sustainability, activism, and arts as research method in programming. The \u003cem\u003eHandbook\u003c\/em\u003e also identifies gaps in the literature, pointing towards the most pressing and promising avenues for further research over the next few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be an essential resource for any researcher, student, or practitioner wishing to understand the role of the arts in global development and in the global south more generally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVicki-Ann Ware\u003c\/b\u003e lectures in development studies at Deakin University, Australia.
