Scholars have become increasingly concerned about the impact of neo-liberalism on the field of development. Governments around the world have for some time been exposed to the forces of globalization and macro-economic reform, reflecting the power and influence of the world’s principal international economic institutions and a broader commitment to the principles of neo-classical economics and free trade. Concerns have also been raised that neo-classical theory now dominates the ways in which scholars frame and ask their questions in the field of development.
This book is about the ways in which ideologies shape the construction of knowledge for development. A central theme concerns the impact of neo-liberalism on contemporary development theory and research. The book’s main objectives are twofold. One is to understand the ways in which neo-liberalism has framed and defined the ‘meta-theoretical’ aims and assumptions of what is deemed relevant, important and appropriate to the study of development. A second is to explore the theoretical and ideological terms on which an alternative to neo-classical theory may be theorized, idealized and pursued. By tracing the impact of Marxism, postmodernism and liberalism on the study of development, Arresting Development contends that development has become increasingly fragmented in terms of the theories and methodologies it uses to understand and explain complex and contextually-specific processes of economic development and social change. Outside of neo-classical economics (and related fields of rational choice), the notion that social science can or should aim to develop general and predictive theories about development has become mired in a philosophical and political orientation that questions the ability of scholars to make universal or comparative statements about the nature of history, cultural diversity and progress.
To advance the debate, a case is made that development needs to re-capture what the American sociologist Peter Evans once called the ‘comparative institutional method.’ At the heart of this approach is an inductive methodology that searches for commonalities and connections to broader historical trends and problems while at the same time incorporating divergent and potentially competing views about the nature of history, culture and development. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of Development, Social and Political Studies and it will also be beneficial to professionals interested in the challenge of constructing "knowledge for development."
Prima di Memmo, i miei appunti erano sparsi tra mille PDF. Ora uno spazio di lavoro raccoglie tutto in un unico posto, e vedo esattamente cosa mi resta da studiare.
I riassunti di Memmo sono oro puro prima degli esami. Non devo rileggere 800 pagine due settimane prima, solo le parti importanti.
La chat AI mi ha salvato più di una volta la sera prima di un esame. Continuo a chiedere finché non capisco, senza aspettare risposte da un gruppo di studio.
I quiz colpiscono esattamente ciò che devo sapere. Memmo tiene traccia di dove mi blocco, così mi esercito solo su ciò che conta davvero.
Le flashcard con ripetizione spaziata sono magia pura. Memmo sa quando sto per dimenticare qualcosa e me lo ripropone.
I podcast AI sono i miei preferiti. Li ascolto mentre vado a scuola e ripasso senza stare davanti al computer.
