Trade, Tastes and Nutrition in India (2013, unknown): “Sen (1999) has argued that improving the health of the poor and increasing their capabilities should be a goal of development in itself.”
From food availability to nutritional capabilities: Advancing food security analysis (2016, background): “…make any reference to the concept of food security, they develop a general analytical framework for studying hunger, chronic or transitory, and all related aspects, based both on the capability approach of Sen (1985, 1999) and his entitlement approach: undernourishment, malnutrition, famines, etc.”
Improving Governance for the Post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals: Scenario Forecasting the Next 50 years (2015, background): “It requires the free-flow of information, freedom of association, open participation in political decision-making, and a cooperative culture of political behavior (Dahl, 1989; Sen, 1999).”
Measuring and Understanding Subjective Well-Being (2010, background): “Some versions of these questions underpin scepticism of subjective life reports, and probably help to explain the preference of Amartya Sen (1999) and others for relying on external assessments of capabilities and freedom as measures of individual well-being and of the quality of social development.”
