The Political Economy of Development - The World Bank, Neoliberalism and Development Research (Paperback)

Any student, academic, or practitioner wanting to succeed in development studies, radical or mainstream, must understand the World Bank's role and the evolution of its thinking and activities. "The Political Economy of Development" provides tools for gaining this understanding and applies them across a range of topics. The research, practice and scholarship of development are always set against the backdrop of the World Bank, whose formidable presence shapes both development practice and thinking. This book brings together academics that specialize in different subject areas of development and reviews their findings in the context of the World Bank as knowledge bank, policy-maker and financial institution. The volume offers a compelling contribution to our understanding of development studies and of development itself. "The Political Economy of Development" is an invaluable critical resource for students, policy-makers, and activists in development studies.
