Development and Antidevelopment Debate: Critical Reflections on the Philosophical Foundations

This book reflects on the philosophical assumptions that sustain the development debate. Rabbani analyzes how the modern project of development and the antidevelopment discourse reduce the human condition to a struggle for self-preservation and, likewise, social and international cooperation to a strategic and self-defeating process. Instructors and graduate and undergraduate students as well as those working in development agencies will find this volume ideally fit for purpose.
