Development, Space, Power is a critical introduction to the politics of 'development'. Illustrated throughout with contextualized case studies, the work fuses theoretical perspectives from postcolonial theory and political economy to present a culturally informed analysis of the Third World. Organized in three integrated sections - Historicising the Third World in Global Politics; Rethinking the Third World State; and Rethinking Civil Society - the work focuses on historical, political and cultural debates. Key themes discussed include: imperialism and postcolonialism, modernisation and globalisation; diaspora and identity; the state; social movements; subjectification and cultures of resistance. Offering a spatial analysis of postcolonial politics, Development, Space, Power will be required reading for upper-level modules in human geography, politics, development studies, and related disciplines.
