Originally published in 1992, this book is an original contribution to overcoming the impasse of ‘totalizing’ theories in the sociology of development by arguing for an actor-oriented approach to the analysis of social change. Such an approach entails the development of theoretically grounded methods of research that allow for the elucidation of actors’ interpretations and strategies, and of how these interlock through processes of negotiation and accommodation. It places ‘the subjects of development’ – workers, entrepreneurs, government officials, traders, but also development practitioners and researchers – at the centre of the stage and rejects linear, deterministic and simple empiricist thinking and practice.

Although primarily addressed to a sociological, anthropological and development studies audience, the book will also be of interest to scholars, students and practitioners in political science, communication studies, human geography and qualitative research methodology.
