- Information
Description
Development and Social Change: A Global Perspective explains how development thinking and practice have shaped our world.
It introduces students to four interconnected projects, and how their dynamics, contradictions and controversies have influenced development trajectories: colonialism, the development era, the neoliberal globalization project, and sustainable development.
Authors Philip McMichael and Heloise Weber use case studies and examples to help describe a complex world in transition.
Students are encouraged to see global development as a contested historical project.
By showing how development stems from unequal power relationships between and among peoples and states, often with planet-threatening environmental outcomes, it enables readers to reflect on the possibilities for more just social, ecological and political relations.
