Sommario/riassunto

"This title provides an overview of the intrinsically political relations of development. It brings together essays written by experts in the politics of development and covers a range of topical concerns: gender, race, indigenous development, social movements, religion, security, the environment, colonialism, migration, the political economy of development, urbanization, and the agrarian question.
