Unmasking the neoliberal paradox, this book provides a robust
conceptual and theoretical synthesis of development, power and the
environment. With seven case studies on global challenges such as
under-development, food regime, climate change, dam building,
identity politics, and security vulnerability, the book offers a
new framework of a "double-risk" society for the Global South. With
apparent ecological and social limits to neoliberal globalization
and development, the current levels of consumption are
unsustainable, inequitable, and inaccessible to the majority of
humans. Power has a great role to play in this global trajectory.
Though power is one of most pervasive phenomena of human society,
it is probably one of the least understood concepts. The growth of
transnational corporations, the dominance of world-wide financial
and political institutions, and the extensive influence of media
that are nearly monopolized by corporate interests are key factors
shaping our global society today. In the growing concentration of
power in few hands, what is apparent is a non-apparent nature of
power. Understanding the interplay of power in the discourse of
development is a crucial matter at a time when our planet is in
peril - both environmentally and socially. This book addresses this
current crucial need.
