Researchers from the Global South represent the key stakeholders in development policies yet a culture of exclusion in the field of development economics seems to leave them out of the conversation.

The majority of research conducted on development and development policies in the Global South is done by researchers from the Global North, a recent research article published in the journal Applied Economic Letters has found.

The research article, titled, ‘Underrepresentation of developing country researchers in development research’, found that fewer than one in six articles published in the top 20 global development journals between 1990 and 2019 were authored by researchers from developing countries (Southern researchers) while nearly three quarters of the same were by their developed-country counterparts (Northern researchers). 

Calls for “diversity” ring throughout the development sector but, in terms of academia, they are seemingly falling on deaf ears. 

Southern researchers have certain advantages when it comes to development economics, first-hand knowledge of a developing country’s problems being the foremost among them. Moreover, as stakeholders in the societies which development economics seeks to draft policies for, their voices deserve to be heard.

A culture of exclusion within the field of economics stands to undermine the very policies which are meant to help Southern countries in their development journeys.
