Description

This exciting book is a tour de force, spanning a broad range of approaches to development. It does not stop at critique, as so many previous books on these issues have done, but offers a unique perspective on future possibilities and the shape of things to come. It should be essential reading on all development studies courses.
- Andrea Cornwall, Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex

Praise for the previous edition:

"This marvellous book should be read by every social scientist interested in development studies".
- Keith Griffin, University of California, Riverside

  • Provides an unrivalled guide to the strengths and weaknesses of competing theoretical approaches.
  • Explains key concepts.
  • Examines the shifts in theory.
  • Offers an agenda for the future.
