In the mid-twentieth century, models of development studies were products of postwar American policy. They focused on newly independent states in the Global South, aiming to assure their pro-Western orientation by promoting economic growth, political reform and liberal democracy. However, this prevented real democracy and radical change. Today, projects of democracy have evolved in a radically different political environment that seems to have little in common with the postwar period. Development Against Democracy, however, testifies to a revealing continuity in foreign policy, including in justifications of 'humanitarian intervention' that echo those of counterinsurgency decades earlier in Latin America, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Irene L. Gendzier argues that the fundamental ideas on which theories of modernisation and development rest have been resurrected in contemporary policy and its theories, representing the continuity of postwar US foreign policy in a world permanently altered by globalisation and its multiple discontents, the proliferation of 'failed states,' the unprecedented exodus of refugees, and Washington's declaration of a permanent war against terrorism. 606 $aPolitical Science / Political Ideologies / Democracy$2bisacsh 606 $aBusiness & Economics / Development$2bisacsh 606 $aPolitical Science / International Relations$2bisacsh 606 $aPolitical science 607 $aDeveloping countries$xPolitics and government 607 $aDeveloping countries$xResearch$zUnited States 615 7$aPolitical Science / Political Ideologies / Democracy 615 7$aBusiness & Economics / Development 615 7$aPolitical Science / International Relations 615 0$aPolitical science 676 $a320.91724 700 $aGendzier$b Irene L.$0540824 702 $aVitalis$b Robert 702 $aFerguson$b Thomas 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910645999203321 996 $aDevelopment against democracy$93005931 997 $aUNINA
