Produktbeschreibung
World poverty and development are more salient than ever on the global political agenda. The campaigns of the global justice movement, the growing securitization of development in the aftermath of 9-11, the intensification of global inequality, and the perceived threats of global pandemics, migrations and failed states have contributed to a sense of renewed urgency. The contributors to this volume, including Bjorn Hettne, Fantu Cheru, Jeffrey Haynes and Bonny Ibhawah, share a common intellectual aspiration to re-unite the study of development with the study of international relations or global politics as it is more broadly conceived today. Although globalization has transformed the context of development, it has yet to significantly transform for the better the prospects for real development or human security amongst the worlds most vulnerable communities. Whether globalization, development and human security are inescapably trapped within a vicious circle or a virtuous cycle is the central concern of this book. The volume will be importance to student of development studies, international relations and politics, globalization and economics.

"There has been a permanent restructuring of the globalpolitical economy, to such an extent that the fundamental ways inwhich we approach 'development' must be overhauled. This bookperforms a signal and valuable service in helping us do that.Anthony McGrew's incisive Introduction lays bare an agenda whichthe book addresses in a series of fine essays."
Stephen Chan, School of Oriental and AfricanStudies

"Globalization, Development and Human Security offers apenetrating and wide-ranging look at the global politics of whatused to be called 'the third world' and the ways in whichglobalization has reframed the development project. It deals withsome very established themes ? foreign aid, gender anddemocratization among them ? as well as HIV/AIDS, human rights andthe politics of grass roots contention. A collection to berecommended to students and researchers alike."
