How did the postwar discourse on development actually create the so-called Third World? And what will happen when development ideology collapses? To answer these questions, Arturo Escobar shows how development policies became mechanisms of control that were just as pervasive and effective as their colonial counterparts. The development apparatus generated categories powerful enough to shape the thinking even of its occasional critics while poverty and hunger became widespread. "Development" was not even partially "deconstructed" until the 1980's, when new tools for analyzing the representation of social reality were applied to specific "Third World" cases. Here Escobar deploys these new techniques in a provocative analysis of development discourse and practice in general, concluding with a discussion of alternative visions for a post development era. Escobar emphasizes the role of economists in development discourse--his case study of Colombia demonstrates that the economization of food resulted in ambitious plans, and more hunger. To depict the production of knowledge and power in other development fields, the author shows how peasants, women, and nature became objects of knowledge and targets of power under the "gaze of experts." In a substantial new introduction, Escobar reviews debates on globalization and post development since the book's original publication in 1995 and argues that the concept of post development needs to be redefined to meet today's significantly new conditions. He then calls for the development of a field of "pluriversal studies," which he illustrates with examples from recent Latin American movements. 606 $aEconomic history$y1945- 606 $aEconomic development 607 $aDeveloping countries$xSocial conditions 607 $aDeveloping countries$xEconomic conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEconomic history 615 0$aEconomic development. 676 $a338.9 700 $aEscobar$b Arturo$0149523 801 0$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248067203316 996 $aEncountering development$9512385 997 $aUNISA
