Description
International Development: A Postwar History by Corinna R. Unger offers a concise historical overview of international development policies and practices in the 20th century. This book explores how the emergence of the development field was shaped by late colonialism, the Second World War, decolonization, and the Cold War. The author examines the roles of various actors, including international organizations, colonial administrations, national governments, and transnational entities, in the making of the development field. By analyzing the impact of political, intellectual, and economic changes over the postwar period, Unger reveals how these factors influenced our understanding of and expectations toward development. This book is a valuable resource for scholars seeking to understand the history of development assistance and gain new insights into the international history of the 20th century.
