Description
Development, Security and Unending War Governing the World of Peoples challenges conventional wisdom about the interconnected world we live in. Mark Duffield argues that security without development is impossible, while development without security is questionable.
The author offers a critical analysis of Western humanitarian interventionism, questioning its ability to bridge the lifechance divide between development and underdevelopment. Instead, he suggests it maintains and polices this divide as part of a defence of insatiable mass consumer society.
With case studies from Mozambique, Ethiopia and Afghanistan, Duffield provides a nuanced examination of the NGO movement, humanitarian intervention, sustainable development, human security, coherence, fragile states, migration and racism within development. This book is essential reading for students and scholars of development, humanitarian intervention and security studies.
