The newly updated third edition provides a clear and user-friendly
introduction to the complex debates around how development has been
understood and achieved. It has been fully updated and expanded to
reflect global political and economic shifts, as well as new
approaches to development. The book deals with the evolution of
development ideas and policies, focusing on economic, political,
social, environmental and spatial dimensions. It highlights how
development cannot be considered as a neutral concept, but is
entwined with inequalities in power at local as well as national
and global scales. A new chapter on politics and development
presents debates around development and democracy, civil society
organizations and human rights. Sections on diversity and
development have been expanded, and the book considers the future
of development in the era of the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs). The use of boxed examples, tables and illustrations helps
students understand complex theoretical ideas and also demonstrates
how development theories are put into practice in the real world.
Each chapter ends with a summary section, discussion topics,
suggestions for further reading and website resources. This key
text provides a clear and thorough explanation of key development
theories and practices. The third edition will remain an invaluable
resource for undergraduate students in geography, politics and
development studies.
