This is an innovative and insightful approach to the global politics
of development. The authors challenge conventional perspectives of,
and approaches to, development and offer alternative accounts of the
politics of development from the perspective of non-state centred and
non-state centric approaches. The authors offer critical
reinterpretations of historical experiences of development processes
and together with insightful analysis of contemporary development
strategies this is a genuinely new perspective on the global politics
of development. Moreover, in moving beyond more ‘economistic’
approaches to development this book seeks to uncover the complexity of
development in ways that account for social relations of power and
identity. The authors successfully demonstrate the transdisciplinary
nature of the politics of development in their respective engagement
with political theory, anthropological and sociological perspectives
in ways that provide an overall integrated approach to the politics of
recognition and redistribution in development. In contrast to
globalisation calling into question the idea and practices of
international development, this study situates the question of the
politics of the ‘international’ within a broader historical
context of global social relations of power and dispossession, and
their impact on states, regions and cultures. In framing the project
as whole through the concepts of recognition and redistribution, this
is a genuine effort to ‘rethink development’. It is timely in an
era of global politics and globalisation wherein both issues of
identity and struggles over development challenge us to re-rethink
disciplinary boundaries.
