El libo esta dirigido a los estudiantes y profesionales de las ciencias sociales interesados en el estudio de las necesidades socilaes y el desarrollo humano. Esta obra nos acerca a la discusión sobre la importancia de abordar nuevos enfoques teórico-metodológicos sobre las necesidades sociales, para ello realiza una revisión de los tres enfoques: el económico monetario, el de las capacidades y el planteamiento de los deseos y las preferencias, comparándolos con el de las necesidades básicas y resaltando la importancia de adentrarse en el desarrollo humano. La búsqueda de alternativas integrales para abordar el desarrollo social, llevó a la Organización de las Naciones Unidas el planteamiento del Desarrollo Humano que desde los años noventa ha venido trabajando diferentes áreas en los Informes sobre Desarrollo Humano, aspectos tratados en la obra, con la finalidad de introducir al lector el planteamiento de algunos paradigmas y a sus principales indicadores para entender y abordar los procesos sociales desde otra perspectiva. Asimismo ocurre con el Desarrollo a Escala Humana herramienta metodológica para abordar a las necesidades sociales como un sistema que permita a las comunidades de base y a los grupos sociales ser agentes activos de su transformación. En la tercera parte, se trabaja casos aplicados que servirán de ejemplo para otras investigaciones, donde se abordan temas de pobreza, desarrollo regional, participación social, ciudadanía social, género, etnia, jóvenes, niños de la calle, inseguridad, educación y otros.

This fascinating book makes an important contribution to the history of the social sciences. It tells the largely hidden story of how social psychology became an international social science, vividly documenting the micro-politics of a virtually forgotten committee, the Committee on Transnational Social Psychology, whose work took place against the back-drop of some of the most momentous events of the twentieth century. Overcoming intellectual, institutional and political obstacles, including the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, and the military coups in Chile or Argentine, the committee struggled to bring social psychology to global recognition, not as part of a programme of intellectual imperialism, but motivated by a mixture of intellectual philanthropy and self-interest. Few authors could tell this unique story. Serge Moscovici is undoubtedly the best-placed insider to do so, together with Ivana Markova providing a lucid, erudite and carefully documented account of the work of this remarkable group. This book will be an essential resource for any scholar interested in the history of social psychology, as well as upper-level students studying the history of the social sciences.
