World Orders, Development And Transformation

Synopsis

This book examines how hegemonic development ideas and practices emerged in the context of the changing world order post-1945 and how this transformation was characterized by neoliberalism and the securitization of development and security. Moving beyond the concept of 'world orders', and arguing that development studies as a discipline is dominated by ahistorical, technocratic and assumed scientific perspectives, Eunice Sahle re-examines colonial concepts of cultural, political and economic conditions, the reproduction of the North-South power divide and increasing human insecurity. Discussing multi-polarity in the light of the rise of China and Russia and China's increasing involvement in Africa, the book deals with the emergence of the World Social Forum, the transformation of global governance, the financial crisis and the impact of Barack Obama's presidency, to provide a historicized understanding of development that draws on notions of power and ethics.
