Description - Development by Stuart Corbridge

Divided into four sets of readings: The first set of readings locates Development as a critical concept within the social sciences. The second set of readings examines the causes and consequences of Development as a Great Transformation. Key topics include the transformation of peasant economies, agribusiness, rural-urban relations, markets, industrialisation, workers, trade, aid and structural adjustment. The third set of readings considers the Politics of Development, looking in turn at states, civil societies, NGOs, corruption and resistance. The final set of readings looks at Visions of Development, including alternative visions of (post) development. It also considers four key Challenges for development theory and practice: these relate to capabilities, ethics, sustainability and regulation.
