Social theory
Description
'This exciting book is a tour de force, spanning a broad range of approaches to development. It does not stop at critique, as so many previous books on these issues have done, but offers a unique perspective on future possibilities and the shape of things to come. It should be essential reading on all development studies courses' - Andrea Cornwall, Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex
