Sommario/riassunto |
|
By applying psychoanalytic perspectives to key themes, concepts, and practices underlying the development enterprise, 'Confronting Desire' offers a new way of analyzing the problems, challenges, and potentialities of international development. Ilan Kapoor makes a compelling case for examining development's unconscious desires, and in the process inaugurates a new field of study: psychoanalytic development studies. |
