Containing the best interdisciplinary work in international law,
this book offers an intelligent and thought-provoking analysis of
the genealogy of Western capitalist 'development'. Putting forth
ground-breaking arguments and challenging the traditional
boundaries of thinking about the concept of development and
underdevelopment, it provides readers with a new perspective on the
West's relationship with the rest of the world. With Jennifer
Beard's departure from the common position that development and
underdevelopment are conceptual outcomes of the Imperialist era,
The Political Economy of Desire positions the genealogy of
development within early Christian writings in which the Western
theological concepts of sin, salvation and redemption are
expounded. Drawing upon legal theory, anthropology, economics,
historiography, philosophy of science, theology, feminism, cultural
studies and development studies the author explores: the link
between the writings of early theologians and the processes of
modern identity formation - tracing the concept of development to a
particularly Christian dynamic how the promise of salvation
continues to influence Western ontology. An innovative and topical
work, this volume is an essential read for those interested in
international law and socio-legal theory.
