• Focus: thematic review articles on major topics in the literature
• Debate: cutting edge contributions on a specific topic or issue
• Reflections: interviews with key figures in the world of development
• Legacies: a look back at the role played in development studies by influential individuals
• Assessments: incisive reviews of major international agency reports such as the World Development Report and the Human Development Report 

The Forum issue is an unmissable annual resource for the student, teacher and practitioner of development.
