Summary: "The Essential Guide to Critical Development Studies provides an up-to-date and authoritative introduction to the field, challenging mainstream development discourse and the assumptions that underlie it. Critical development studies lays bare the economic, political, social and environmental crises that characterize the current global capitalist system, proposing instead systemic change and different pathways for moving beyond capitalism into a new world of genuine progress where economic and social justice and ecological integrity prevail. In this book, the authors challenge market-driven, neoliberal development agendas, incorporating analyses of class, gender, race and the dynamics of uneven capitalist development. This thoroughly revised and expanded second edition includes: 18 new chapters including on topics such as philanthrocapitalism, race, the energy transition, Indigenous resistance and resilience, and global health; Expanded global coverage, including new chapters on South Africa, North Africa and the Gulf Arab states; A new section on Resistance and Alternatives; Additional pedagogical features, including a glossary of key terms, discussion questions, and expanded guides for further reading. This textbook will be essential reading for students of Global Development, Political Science, Sociology, Economics, Gender Studies, Geography, History, Anthropology, Agrarian Studies, International Political Economy and Area Studies. It will also be an important resource for development researchers, practitioners, and policymakers."PPN: PPN: 1753311055
