Description

Development Theory: Four Critical Studies, originally published in 1979, presents a thorough examination of how development is conventionally taught across sociology, politics and economics. This Routledge Library Editions reissue critically evaluates established development frameworks whilst avoiding the oversimplifications found in contemporary radical theories. The book constructs an alternative theoretical foundation for understanding development in the modern world. Designed for both undergraduate and postgraduate students of development studies, this text remains relevant for anyone seeking deeper insight into the historical critique of development discourse and its practical applications in economic and social analysis.
