Description
The Essential Guide to Critical Development Studies by Henry Veltmeyer and Paul Bowles provides an authoritative introduction to critical development studies, challenging mainstream development discourse. This revised edition explores the economic, political, social, and environmental crises of the global capitalist system, proposing systemic change and alternative pathways for progress. New chapters cover topics such as philanthrocapitalism, race, the energy transition, Indigenous resistance, and global health, while expanded coverage includes new insights on South Africa, North Africa, and the Gulf Arab states. The book also features a glossary of key terms, discussion questions, and guides for further reading. Ideal for students and researchers in fields such as global development, political science, sociology, economics, and international relations, this textbook offers a comprehensive resource for understanding critical development studies and its potential for systemic change.
