This anthology offers a cutting-edge perspective on how development
has shaped the history of the modern world. Stephen J. Macekura and
Erez Manela have gathered together leading historians to examine
development on the international, regional, and national levels, as
well as local manifestations of development initiatives and
transnational organizing on behalf of alternative approaches.
Themes include the relationship between empire and development, the
role of international institutions, the influence of the Cold War,
decolonization and post-colonial development strategies, reform and
resistance to development, development and global health, and the
ecological effects of development. The Development Century examines
how ideas and discourses about development have shaped its
practices on the ground; explores the ways in which policymakers
and experts attempted to implement development through specific
institutions and policies; and analyzes development initiatives and
their effect of local environments and people.
