This landmark book offers a comprehensive analysis of how development
approaches have evolved since World War II, examining and also
evaluating the succession of theories, doctrines, and practices that
have been formulated and applied in the Third World and beyond.
Covering all developing regions, the book offers an integrated
approach for considering the entwined aspects of development:
governance, economics, foreign assistance, civil society, and the
military. With reference to carefully chosen case studies, the authors
offer distinctive explanations for why development approaches fall
short and systematically relate the evolution of development thinking
to current challenges, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of key
institutions and the clashes of institutional interests that have
distorted otherwise sound doctrines and negatively affected
development practice. In identifying the dynamics that account for
shortcomings in past development attempts, and recommending a
betterintegration of doctrines across the entire range of
inter-connected development fronts, the book points to how development
practice may be improved to better advance human dignity.
