What is Critical Development Theory : Contributions to a New Paradigm about?

In Recent Years There Has Been A Considerable Rethinking Of The Whole Concept Of Development, Including A Growing Awareness Of Its Gender, Cultural And Environmental Dimensions, And The Impact Of Globalisation. The Contributors To This Volume Seek To Extend These Debates To A More Fundamental Level, Tackling Such Issues As The Crisis Of Development As An Intellectual And Practical Project, The Need For A Break With Development As A Eurocentric Concept, And The Viability Of Alternative, Non-western Forms Of Development. This Thoughtful Volume By Authors Of Quite Diverse Intellectual Positions Transcends Those Critiques Of Development Which Simply Engage In A Blanket Dismissal Of The Whole Enterprise. Instead They Offer Innovative Ways Of Engaging With A Reality That, Despite Globalisation, Is Very Much Still A Dimension Of Our Era.--publisher Description.
