Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"A very useful volume for those interested in development studies." -- CHOICE

"This is an exceptionally thorough, yet highly accessible, review of the development literature. It is almost encyclopedic in scope, and it connects several debates and perspectives in a very convincing and clear way. In the middle of an intellectual impasse in development studies, this is a powerful and original piece. While consensus on any given theory of development may be hard to reach, there is need for fresh new insights to stimulate a good intellectual debate in this field. This book certainly has the capacity to do that." -- Mustafa Koc, Ryerson Polytechnic University

"Haque is justifiably mad at the failure of development efforts in the Third World, and he successfully links these failures to the development problems of growing disparity in the United States and Europe. The data support his claim that development efforts contributed to the problems rather than helped solve them. In being critical of development failures, he covers a wider array of data than some critiques, and the inclusion of cultural data makes a good contribution." -- Ted K. Bradshaw, University of California, Davis
