Editorial

This fourth issue of Policy and Practice: a development education review has Voices from the Global South as its theme.  Practitioners working in development and development education from the Global North/South in Ireland and the UK have contributed their experiences and points of view on this topic.  We have also asked practitioners working in the Global South to contribute their perspective on the theme.

            “Voices from the Global South” is a phrase that covers a broad spectrum of ideas and draws attention to a number of issues for those working in development education.  The articles in this issue touch on the understanding (or not) of the multiple realities of the Global South.  They remind us that the Global South is not just one country, one person or one point of view; the very perception of the Global South as a single entity needs to be critically examined.
