Conway on RRA for 'Nature'

This brief article on RRA by Gordon Conway was submitted to the magazine 'nature' but rejected as "not of scientific interest". It discusses the origins of RRA in disillusionment with conventional approaches to development, and reporting papers presented at a conference in Khon Kaen, Thailand, it introduces the RRA methodology, tools, applications and future potential. Regarding the latter, Conway notes that it remains to be seen whether conventional journals will accept papers based on RRA.
