Challenging the dominant and mainstream views in global
development, this pioneering Handbook questions the entirety of the
development process in order to outline the holistic political
economies of development, its discontents, and its alternatives.
Critically engaging with key theoretical debates and constructs in
development studies, expert contributors assess the problem of
global development and underdevelopment and the existing
problematic explanations and solutions, before outlining
alternatives. Chapters explore the nature of development, engaging
with, critiquing and going beyond the dominant theoretical
approaches of modernisation, dependency, neoliberalism, human
development, sustainable development, and post development. They
further examine more recent powerful forces of change, including
sustainability, self-reliance, social and solidarity economies, and
ecological alternatives. The Handbook makes a convincing case for
an open-ended, ongoing theorisation of development and leaves
readers with a key take-away: that not only inequalities but also
social stratification can be used to frame the theorising,
teaching, practice, praxis, policies, politics, activism, and
indeed everything in the political economy of development.
Underpinning innovative new research on development, this Handbook
will prove invaluable to students and scholars of development
studies, development economics, political economy and social policy
in emerging countries. Global in scope, policymakers and
practitioners working in the Global South will also find its
insights refreshing.
