'Development management' is an idea that blends the seemingly
innocuous claims of managerialism with notions of modernity and
utopian ideals of 'third world' progress. This book views both
phenomena as problematic and modernizing interventions. In doing
so, it overturns and reclaims such ideas as participation,
community, governance, NGOs, and civil society. The contributors
argue that the practices of development are often threaded together
by the language of managerialism - reports, logframe, encounters
with the boss - yet all of these serve to further development's
disengagement from the mundane. In voicing such concerns about the
way development is going, and about the encroachment of
managerialism, The New Development Management will breathe fresh
life into post-development debates.
