Power of Development (Paperback, New)

This book examines the power of development to imagine new worlds and to constantly reinvent itself as the solution to problems of national and global disorder, yet argues that development cannot simply be reduced to the outworking of deeper economic logics and structures, but has its own logic, internal coherence and effects.

Conceptualizing development as discourse, the enclosed essays discuss the changing language of development, argue the role of geography in development practices, and entertain the possibility that development has no redeeming features or power when situated within its political and institutional context.

Combining abstract analyses of development discourse with concrete global case studies of how that discourse is constructed and operates in particular times and places, The Power of Development stakes out the terrain for post-marxist development studies in a post-marxian world.
