| Summary: |
"This book examines how hegemonic development ideas and practices emerged in the context of a changing world order post-1945. Moving beyond the concept of 'world orders', and arguing that development studies as a discipline is dominated by ahistorical, technocratic and assumed scientific perspectives, Eunice Sahle re-examines colonial concepts and practices that facilitate the reproduction of the North-South power divide, increasing human insecurity in the age of neoliberalism and securitization of development and security. In the process she provides a historicized understanding of development that draws on notions of power and ethics. Discussing multi-polarity in the light of the rise of China and Russia and China's increasing involvement in Africa, the emergence of the World Social Forum, global governance, the financial crisis and the impact of Barack Obama's presidency, the book engages with contemporary debates concerned with the transformation of the current world order"--Provided by publisher. |
