While many people support the notion of development as an inherently positive force, there remains a lack of consensus about what development truly means. This book provides a comprehensive and broad analysis of how the concept of development has been understood in social and political theory over the past 200 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors trace the evolution of development theory from its classical origins, which aimed to explain the initial development of the industrialized world, to the \"golden age\" of development theory post-1945. The discussion also brings the debates into the present, evaluating current and future trends in development thinking. The evolution of development theory is presented in an innovative manner, grounded in the successes and failures of development across different times and places.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn their evaluation, the authors argue for a shift away from development studies as a specialized field and advocate for re-rooting the study of development within a new political economy framework. This approach invites readers to critically engage with the concept and its relevance to contemporary global challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten in an engaging style, this book serves as an essential resource for students across the social sciences, offering insight into both historical and contemporary perspectives on development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassical Theories\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatch-up Theories\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGolden Age Theories\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeoliberal and Neostatist Theories\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlternative Theories\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContemporary Theoretical Directions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnthony Payne\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor at the University of Sheffield, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNicola Phillips\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor at the University of Manchester, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rawat Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50011854831920,"sku":"DRG.RawatPublications_9788131609675","price":777.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/91rZqiJYn-L.jpg?v=1756393737","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/development","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
