Development Economics has been identified as a homogeneous body of
theory since the 1950s, concerned both with the study of
development issues and with the shaping of more effective policies
for less advanced economies. Development Economics in the
Twenty-First Century brings together an international contributor
team in order to explore the origins and evolution of development
economics. This book highlights the different elements of 'high
development theory' through a precise reconstruction of the
different theoretical approaches that developed between the 1950s
and the 1970s. These include the theory of balanced and unbalanced
growth theory, the debate on international trade, the concept of
dualism, dependency theory, structuralism and the analysis of
poverty and institutions. The chapters highlight the relevance and
usefulness of these analyses for the contemporary theoretical
debate on development issues. Comparative perspectives are explored
and analysed, including those of Keynes, Hirschman, Krugman and
Stiglitz. The chapters situate development economics within current
debates among economists and historians of economic thought,
providing a platform for future research. This book is suitable for
researchers and students with an interest in Development Economics,
the History of Economic development and the Economics of Developing
Countries.
