New Perspectives in International Development focuses on the latest
thinking in the field, moving the debate into areas such as the
connection between security, conflict, and development, managing
energy crises, the impact of environmental and climate change, and
the role that technology can play in alleviating these challenges.
The book explores the theme of development as a process of change;
as historical transformation in relation to contested sites of
power; it considers how human agency can affect change and the
different scales, from the local to the transnational, at which
change can occur. The interaction between these threads highlights
the complex processes involved in international development that
cannot be understood in isolation. Writers bring their own
theoretical and empirical tools from social sciences including
geography, politics, economics and environmental science. Chapters
move from the theoretical to include case studies, placing theory
in the context of the deliberate actions of people to improve their
lives. The book concludes by suggesting possible ways forward to
link development theories, models and practices. New Perspectives
in International Development is the second of two books in The Open
University's International Development series.
