Description

The New Development Management Critiquing the Dual Modernization By Sadhvi Dar and Professor Bill Cooke This book challenges the idea of development management by questioning its underlying assumptions about modernity, utopian ideals, and managerialism. It argues that these concepts are often used to further disengage development from everyday realities. The contributors examine how the language of managerialism is used in development practices, including reports, logframes, and encounters with those in power. They contend that this language serves to reinforce development's detachment from local contexts and communities. By critiquing the dominant discourse on development management, The New Development Management offers a fresh perspective on post-development debates and challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about development and its impact on communities.
