This textbook provides a historical survey of economic and
political development theory and practice from 1945. Against the
background of changes in global politics, it explores how the
project of international development has been shaped in a series of
wider contexts. Divided into two historical parts: the Sovereign
Order, post 1945 to the early-1980s, and the Liberal post-Cold War
Era from the 1980s to the present day, it examines: * the evolution
of ideas of international development: how the problem of
development was conceived and is understood in relation to
development economics and political development. It also addresses
the impact of neo-liberal counterrevolution' in development theory,
the rise of good governance, participation and ownership, as well
as the impact of the war on terror' and the securitisation of
development' * institutions in international development: from the
emergence of development agencies, their policies and the provision
of different types of aid to changing aid flows and the growth of a
more integrated development community' with implications for
developing countries. Finally, it looks at the how the war on
terror' and the securitisation of development' have shaped what
these agencies do * the practices of international development:
these chapters examine a number of countries and their relations
with development agencies; the kinds of projects and programmes
these agencies supported; and the outcomes of these projects and
programmes. This valuable and important teaching tool will be of
interest to students of development, international relations,
politics and economics.
