Constructing an intellectual history of European development discourse, this book brings together post-structuralist and critical approaches to understanding development. Nathalie Karagiannis analyses three key terms of European development discourse: 'responsibility', 'efficiency' and 'giving'. Situating these terms in a concrete history of European post-colonial politics, the author shows how European policy has shifted from accepting responsibility for colonialism - constructed as it is on the paternalistic model of the gift - to a more amnesiac politics in which post-colonial countries are responsible for their own fate. In this way, Karagiannis illustrates that efficiency has become the overriding goal of development, and that the relationship between 'developed' and 'developing' countries is mainly defined by considerations pertaining to market capitalism. 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aEconomic assistance, European$zDeveloping countries 606 $aPostcolonialism 607 $aDeveloping countries$xEconomic conditions 607 $aDeveloping countries$xSocial conditions 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xForeign economic relations$zDeveloping countries 607 $aDeveloping countries$xForeign economic relations$zEuropean Union countries 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aEconomic assistance, European 615 0$aPostcolonialism. 676 $a338.91/401724 700 $aKaragiannis$b Nathalie$0896090 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454722603321 996 $aAvoiding responsibility$92001767 997 $aUNINA
