Towards a New Political Economy of Development

The author examines new development strategies in the context of globalisation and the crisis of the Washington Consensus. Critiquing both protectionism and the free market he points to the influence and evolution of Keynesian ideas for the management and stabilisation of development in an era marked by the unravelling of neoliberal prosperity.

'Critical, wide ranging and incisive, this is one of the best introductions to development and the evolving global political and economic order currently available.' Mark Beeson, Murdoch University, Australia
