This timely Handbook demonstrates that global linkages, flows and
circulations merit a more central place in theorization about
development. Calling for a mobilities turn, it challenges the
sedentarist assumptions which still underlie much policy making and
planning for the future. Â Expert contributors analyze
development from a mobilities perspective, exploring how
globalization connects distant people and places, so that what
happens in one place has direct bearing on another. Chapters
provide an overview of the global trends related to the flows of
people and capital over the past decade, and offer insights into
the consequences of developmental practices and policies that
unfold on the ground. Drawing on specific case studies from Africa,
Asia and Latin America, this Handbook considers how, in many
localities, livelihood opportunities are ever more shaped by
positionality, and the ways in which people are attached to and
participate in translocal and transnational networks. Â
Providing a bottom-up analysis of the implications of globalization
for translocal development, this Handbook will be a valuable
resource for scholars and students of development studies, human
geography, and sustainability and environmental science. Its use of
global case studies will also be useful for practitioners and
policy makers who desire a better understanding of the
developmental impact of policies and investments.
