Description - Development Studies by Stuart Corbridge

This text brings together in one volume a representative set of readings on the nature of contemporary development issues. Using as its organizing theme the "development debate" itself, it focuses on six main topic areas: theories and models of development; agricultural change and rural development; survival strategies and the weapons of the weak; industrialization and urbanization; the global political economy; and new directions in development studies, including democratization, environmental sustainability, and citizenship. The extracts included have been selected to provide a full sense of what development studies are about. Each section is prefaced by an introduction to contextualize it within wider intellectual, historical and policy-related contexts, and to clarify its main points.
