Description

Explore how international development transforms societies, economies, and global problem-solving in this compelling analysis by Michael Woolcock. The book examines development as both a historical process and intentional political project, revealing why achieving peace and prosperity remains contingent and contentious. Woolcock demonstrates that development challenges extend far beyond technical solutions, showing how perceived means and ends are often experienced as alien, unjust, and disruptive. This work unpacks the unequal distribution of development's benefits and costs, offering crucial insight into why global progress requires understanding complexity, contestation, and the human dimensions of economic and social change.
