Exploring Post-Development Summary

Exploring Post-Development: Theory and Practice, Problems and Perspectives by Aram Ziai

Tackles issues surrounding post-development which is arguably one of the most significant debates in the field of north-south relations at the beginning of the 21st century

Contributors explore the possibilities and limits of post-development theory and practice drawing on empirical studies of movements and communities in several continents

Chapters demonstate a willingness to engage in the real dilemmas of the practice as well as the theorisation of post-development

Includes contributions from leading thinkers including: Arturo Escobar, Katherine Gibson and Julie Graham

The volume goes beyond simplistic 'for and against' pespectives on post-development to explore more nuanced readings - which is important and innovative
