Political Studies Review
"This informed overview focuses on globalization,
governance…and god(s). It identifies and examines the
proliferating range of increasingly controversial
‘development’ issues towards the end of the first
decade of the new millennium."
Tim Shaw, University of the West Indies
"Only recently have world leaders and commentators had to admit
that after four decades of their commitment to development the
world is more unequal than ever. In this balanced and comprehensive
overview of the field of development studies, Professor Haynes sets
out the principal issues involved, and relates ongoing debates to
current developments, while remaining clear and accessible
throughout"
Peter Calvert, University of Southampton
"This highly recommended book brings clarity into the field of
development studies, particularly for beginners. It covers in
accessible language most relevant issues, from globalization and
international political economy to environment and religion.
Furthermore the book handles the essentially contested nature of
the subject in an impressively balanced fashion."
Bjorn Hettne, School of Global Studies
"One of the best works to have appeared in the field of
development studies in recent years. It is thorough in its coverage
of issues and contemporary themes related to development, it is
insightful and judicious in its treatment of the various topics, it
is of utility to both generalists and specialists alike, and it is
written in a style that is lucid and free of jargon. I strongly
recommend it to anyone interested in the study of
development."
Mehran Kamrava, Georgetown University
