englischDevelopment theory deals with social change and global inequality – typically from an implicit Western perspective. Yet also here we find original voices, and the volume at hand serves as a forum for some of them. It assembles heterogeneous perspectives: from political economy and postcolonial studies, game theory and sociology of knowledge, modernization theory and world systems theory. Above all, it critically examines and reflects development theory itself.

 

Aram Ziai is spokesperson of the section on development theory and policy of the German Association of Political Scientists and researches the field from the perspective of discourse analysis and postcolonial studies.

Philipp Dann, Malte Gephart, Robert Kappel, Reinhart Kößler, Philipp Lepenies, Julia Sattelberger, Stefan Schmalz, Johannes Schmitt, Ingrid Wehr, Aram Ziai.
