Why is global development so unequal in its social impact? How are
global relations represented in local developments, and vice versa?
What role do social movements play in shaping global development?
These are some of the questions animating this state-of-the-art
collection of essays. Subdivided into sections posing research,
policy, and strategic questions regarding contemporary social
change, this volume brings together scholars well-known for
challenging conventional wisdoms in the sociology of global
development.
In exploring development, these chapters range across the global
North and South, economic sectors, policy scales, state/civil
society relations, social models, and changing compositional and
contextual dimensions of capitalism. Authors introduce conceptual
innovations regarding the spatial boundaries of development,
sovereignty and the politics of globalization, food regime
analysis, recompositions of rural activity, the question of the
national bourgeoisie??'s role in the developing world, the health
dimensions of food and farming, and the salience of regional
governance in sustainable development. Methodologically, this
collection breaks new ground with essays reinterpreting commodity
chain analysis, accounting for the impoverishing impact of resource
extraction, incorporating social movements into the analysis of
development, and historically specifying contemporary trends in
global development.
