Opis

This book discusses alternative development and its relevance for local/global processes of marginalization and change in the Global South. It questions who the producers of development knowledges and practices are, and aims at decentring development and geographical knowledge from the Anglo-American centre and the Global North. The main strength of the book is that it calls for a central role for alternative development in the current development discourse, most notably related to justice, rights, globalization, forced migration, conflict and climate change.

’A refreshing exploration of alternative approaches to development, including bottom-up initiatives and a consideration of the intersections of marginalization, globalization and participation. Anyone interested in bridging the gap between development policy and practice will not be disappointed with this timely and thought-provoking collection.’ Samantha Punch, University of Stirling, UK
