The third edition of this groundbreaking book offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the complex debates surrounding the understanding and achievement of development. Thoroughly revised and expanded to reflect the latest global political and economic shifts, as well as emerging approaches to development, it provides a comprehensive exploration of the evolution of development ideas and policies across economic, political, social, environmental, and spatial dimensions.
Recognizing that development cannot be viewed as a neutral concept, the book delves into the intricate relationships between development and inequalities, both within and across local, national, and global scales. A new chapter dedicated to politics and development examines the interplay between development, democracy, civil society organizations, and human rights. Furthermore, the sections on diversity and development have been expanded to address the growing importance of promoting inclusive and equitable growth.
In the era of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the book considers the future of development and its alignment with these global aspirations. The use of boxed examples, tables, and illustrations not only helps students grasp complex theoretical ideas but also demonstrates how development theories are applied in real-world contexts. Each chapter concludes with a summary section, discussion topics, suggestions for further reading, and valuable website resources.
As a vital resource for undergraduate students studying geography, politics, and development studies, the third edition of this book remains an indispensable guide to understanding key development theories and practices. Its comprehensive coverage, engaging writing style, and wealth of practical examples make it an essential tool for anyone seeking to gain a deeper understanding of the complex and ever-evolving field of development.
