Book description
The Companion to Development Studies is an essential one-stop reference
for anyone with an interest in development studies. Over 100
international experts have been brought together to present a
comprehensive overview of the key theoretical and practical issues
dominating contemporary development studies.
Building on the success of the first edition, the second edition of the
Companion has been thoroughly revised and updated and includes new
chapters on a range of topics, including ageing, culture and
development, corruption and development and global terrorism. Each
chapter summarises current debates and provides guidance for further
reading and research.
The Companion to Development Studies is indispensable for students of
development studies at all levels, from undergraduate to postgraduate
and beyond, in departments of development studies, geography, politics,
international relations, sociology, social anthropology and economics.
