International Development is a comprehensive inquiry into the field
of socio-economic development founded on an understanding that
economic advancement involves transformation of society. It
explores successful developmental strategies but also tries to
identify factors behind failed endeavours and the human costs
associated with them. The book evaluates the role played by
influential agents of development, such as the state and its
institutions, authoritarian leaders, international organizations,
donor agencies, non-governmental organizations, civil society
activists, and private business actors. Key features: A
multi-disciplinary approach taking into account politics,
economics, sociology, cultural aspects, and history of development;
Examines a breadth of different theoretical approaches and their
practical applications; Presents both mainstream and critical
viewpoints; Addresses such complex issues as governability
processes, rights of the poor, colonial legacy, armed conflict,
environmental sustainability, gender relations, foreign aid,
urbanization, rural development, and international trade; Suggested
further reading list at the end of each chapter. This well-balanced
book will be a key text for students and practitioners working in
the area of socio-economic development and more broadly in
development studies, the politics of development and international
political economy.
