This book presents a new theory explaining underdevelopment in the
global South and tests whether financial inputs, the
government-business-media (GBM) complex and spatiotemporal
influences drive human development. Despite the entrance of
emerging powers and new forms of aid, trade and investment,
international political-economic practices still support
well-established systems of capital accumulation, to the detriment
of the global South. Global asymmetrical accumulation is maintained
by 'affective' (consent-forming hegemonic practices) and
'infrastructural' (uneven economic exchanges) labours and by power
networks. The message for developing countries is that 'robust'
GBMs can facilitate human development and development is
constrained by spatiotemporal limitations. This work theorizes that
aid and foreign direct investment should be viewed with caution and
that in the global South these investments should not automatically
be assumed to be drivers of development.
