In a project like this there are too many individuals involved for us to be able to thank them all by name, We are most grateful to all those ministries, agencies, institutions, projects and librarians who have responded to our requests for information and assistance. We hope that they will be gratified to see the result of their response evident within the bibliography.
There are, however, just a few people we do wish to identify and thank on the record for their special support. Firstly there are our researchers Ruth Aedo-Richmond, Aparna Narayanan and Rose Njoroge who have made very significant contributions, not only in respect of their general input to the work, but also in terms of their insights and expertise on Latin America, South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa respectively. Secondly, our secretarial support has been equally vital, and here we would especially wish to record our thanks to Jennifer Webster. Finally, the index of any academic document is the first port of call for most users, and for compiling this important element of the publication we thank Shirley Brock.
Inevitably there will be some oversights and significant omissions in a work of this kind. The theme is a massive one, still attracting a great deal of interest, as it should. We take full responsibility for any shortcomings, and hope that readers will notify us of important, readily available sources that have not been listed here. Hopefully they may be included in a subsequent update of the list and the annotations.
