This new, updated edition of the influential Development Against
Democracy is a critical guide to postwar studies of modernisation
and development. In the mid-twentieth century, models of
development studies were products of postwar American policy. They
focused on newly independent states in the Global South, aiming to
assure their pro-Western orientation by promoting economic growth,
political reform and liberal democracy. However, this prevented
real democracy and radical change. Today, projects of democracy
have evolved in a radically different political environment that
seems to have little in common with the postwar period. Development
Against Democracy, however, testifies to a revealing continuity in
foreign policy, including in justifications of 'humanitarian
intervention' that echo those of counterinsurgency decades earlier
in Latin America, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Irene L.
Gendzier argues that the fundamental ideas on which theories of
modernisation and development rest have been resurrected in
contemporary policy and its theories, representing the continuity
of postwar US foreign policy in a world permanently altered by
globalisation and its multiple discontents, the proliferation of
'failed states,' the unprecedented exodus of refugees, and
Washington's declaration of a permanent war against terrorism.
