The Essential Guide to Critical Development Studies is a comprehensive and authoritative introduction to the field, challenging mainstream development discourse and the assumptions that underlie it. It provides an up-to-date and critical analysis of the economic, political, social, and environmental crises that characterize the current global capitalist system, proposing instead systemic change and different pathways for moving beyond capitalism into a new world of genuine progress where economic and social justice and ecological integrity prevail. The book challenges market-driven, neoliberal development agendas, incorporating analyses of class, gender, race, and the dynamics of uneven capitalist development. It includes 18 new chapters, expanded global coverage, a new section on resistance and alternatives, and additional pedagogical features such as a glossary of key terms, discussion questions, and expanded guides for further reading. This textbook is essential reading for students of global development, political science, sociology, economics, gender studies, geography, history, anthropology, agrarian studies, international political economy, and area studies. It will also be an important resource for development researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.
