Abstract "This title provides an overview of the intrinsically political relations of development. It brings together essays written by experts in the politics of development and covers a range of topical concerns: gender, race, indigenous development, social movements, religion, security, the environment, colonialism, migration, the political economy of development, urbanization, and the agrarian question. It examines key concepts and approaches which have underpinned development, as well as the struggles it has engendered historically, and in contemporary contexts. This volume offers alternative analytical frameworks for understanding the relationships around development and inequalities"-- Provided by publisher.
