World poverty and development are more salient than ever on the
global political agenda. The campaigns of the global justice
movement, the growing securitization of development in the
aftermath of 9-11, the intensification of global inequality, and
the perceived threats of global pandemics, migrations and failed
states have contributed to a sense of renewed urgency.
The contributors to this volume, including Bjorn Hettne, Fantu
Cheru, Jeffrey Haynes and Bonny Ibhawah, share a common
intellectual aspiration to re-unite the study of development with
the study of international relations or global politics as it is
more broadly conceived today. Although globalization has
transformed the context of development, it has yet to significantly
transform for the better the prospects for real development or
human security amongst the worlds most vulnerable communities.
Whether globalization, development and human security are
inescapably trapped within a vicious circle or a virtuous cycle is
the central concern of this book.
The volume will be importance to student of development studies,
international relations and politics, globalization and
economics.
