Theories and practices of development

Willis, K.

9780415590716 - Theories and practices of development
2e hands

Artikelomschrijving

Global economic crisis and the implications of global environmental change have led academics and policy-makers to consider how development in all parts of the world should be achieved. However, development has always been a contested idea. While often presented as a positive process to improve peoples lives, the potential negative dimensions of development on people and environments must also be recognized. Theories and Practices of Development provides a clear and user-friendly introduction to the complex debates around how development has been understood and achieved. The second edition has been fully updated and expanded to reflect global political and economic shifts, as well as new approaches to development. The rise of China and India is given particular attention, as is the global economic crisis and its implications for development theories and practice. There are new sections on faith-based development, and the development dimensions of climate change, as well as greater engagement with development theories as they are put into practice in the Global North.
