Reviews / Votes
'This invaluable text aims to restore to development the 'broad ambition of that once stimulating area of study' by re-setting it in the indispensable historical and political-economic context from which it has been progressively divorced in recent decades and engaging with the large and complex forces that actually determine the fate of the world's poor. To a truly admirable extent, it succeeds, in the process guiding the reader through a vast range of literature and making judicious assessments of all the key debates.' - Colin Leys, Emeritus Professor, Queen's University, Kingston, CanadaMore details
