Description

Theories and Practices of Development by Katie Willis provides a clear introduction to the complex debates around how development has been understood and achieved. This updated third edition reflects global political and economic shifts, as well as new approaches to development. It explores the evolution of development ideas and policies, focusing on economic, political, social, environmental and spatial dimensions. The book highlights how development is entwined with inequalities in power at local, national and global scales. With boxed examples, tables and illustrations, students can understand complex theoretical ideas and see how development theories are put into practice. The book covers topics such as politics and development, diversity and development, and the future of development in the era of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each chapter includes a summary section, discussion topics, suggestions for further reading and website resources.
