About this Item

In his examination of 'development studies' from its origins in the late 1940s to the present day, Kitching asks: how do the intellectual origins and historical background of western and other theories of development affect their relevance to present Third-World conditions? In considering all the major contending schools of thought, this contribution to the Development and Underdevelopment series provides students new to the subject with a broad overview of its growth and structure upon which to base more specialist reading.

About this title

Synopsis

While presenting the current 'radical orthodoxy' of development studies - including the ILO's employment approach, and Lipton's urban bias thesis - Kitching argues that these theories are continuations of much older traditions of thought. This book should be of interest to lecturers and students of development studies, socialist economics.
