About this book
Reviews
“Book is about how particular understandings of political economy have contributed, and continue to contribute, to the unintended outcomes and counter-productive consequences of development efforts and, crucially, what can and should be done instead. It is excellent and, I think, should be read widely by development practitioners and international development scholars alike, as well as by those with a more general interest in developing political strategies that seek to challenge and transform existing sets of power relations.” (Stephen Bates, Journal of Contemporary Asia, Vol. 46 (1), 2016)
