This comprehensive analysis of how development approaches have evolved since World War II outlines and evaluates the succession of theories, doctrines, and practices formulated and applied in the Third World and beyond. Covering all developing regions, the book offers an integrated approach for considering the entwined aspects of development: governance, economics, foreign assistance, civil society, and the military. Relying on selective case studies, the authors explain why development approaches fall short, and relate the evolution of development thinking to current challenges, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of key institutions that have distorted otherwise sound doctrines and negatively affected development practice. In identifying the dynamics that have undermined past development attempts, and recommending better integration of doctrines across inter-connected development fronts, the book points to how development practice may be improved to advance human dignity.
