Description for Reinventing Development
Hardback. Num Pages: 271 pages, biography. BIC Classification: GTF; JPS; KCM; RNU. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 210 x 148. .
This book debunks the foundations of contemporary government-led development policy. The author questions the predictability of success when using mainstream development doctrines and its underlying assumptions, approaching development from a sceptical standpoint, as opposed to the more common optimistic view. The book uses international development and aid as a case study of how rich countries define how change should happen. Further, it suggests alternative ways of thinking about and organizing social change.
