Description

Explore the complex world of global progress with International Development: Navigating Humanity's Greatest Challenge by Michael Woolcock. Published by Polity, this book examines development as both a long-run historical process and an intentional political project. It moves beyond simple technical fixes to look at how these processes change societies, economies, and our fundamental understanding of global problem-solving. Woolcock provides a deep look into why achieving peace and prosperity is such a contentious issue. He explores how the means and ends of development are often seen as disruptive or unjust, and how the benefits and costs are not distributed equally. This text is essential for those looking to understand why many development challenges cannot be solved by experts alone through technical means. It offers a necessary perspective on the political and social realities that shape our world today.

Key Features

Examines international development as a historical process and a political project that changes how societies and economies function.

Explores the contentious nature of seeking peace and prosperity, noting how development goals can be perceived as alien or unjust.
