• Framed by an encyclopedic introduction that will prove indispensable to students and experts alike
  
• Includes readings ranging from Weber and Marx and Engels to contemporary works on the politics of development knowledge, consumption, environment, gender, international NGO networks, the IMF, campaigns to reform the World Bank, the collapse of socialism, and the limits of "post-developmentalism"
