About this book
Critical introduction to the changing geographies of global development. It moves away from the traditional approach of providing descriptive accounts of Third World geographical issues, and instead finds alternative geography of development theories and practices, which show that 'development' has been a pain-staking, protracted and fiercely contested process.
