Rather than being divided by the various traditional dimensions of development, such as the agricultural/industrial, urban/rural, global/local, theory/practice, it traverses some of these simplistic divides with a thematic and historicised approach, to illustrate the complexity and interconnections between the themes, issues and case-studies presented in the book. Indeed, one of the key contentions of Rethinking Development Geographies , is that development is too often seen in a linear fashion and in reality often involves more complicated trajectories. Rethinking Development Geographies considers the spatiality of development, rather than simply adding a geographical twist to existing debates about development. The book explores critical and radical perspectives on development as a global industry, with a specific geography of power. Case-studies are drawn from Africa, Asia, Central and South America and the Caribbean; boxes highlight and explain key theories and competing perspectives on development; chapter objectives and summaries are given and there is annotated further reading for each chapter.
Moving away from the traditional approach of providing descriptive accounts of Third World geographical issues, this book offers a stimulating critical introduction to the changing geographies of global development.
