Produktbeschreibung

This edited volume explores development in the so-called 'fragile', 'failed' and 'pariah' states.

Rezensionen

"The volume is an enjoyable read that provides a much needed critique of standard 'one-size-fits-all' approaches to development in difficult socio-political contexts. This volume will definitely be of interest to researchers, development practitioners, policymakers and students." (Maurice Said, Progress in Development Studies, Vol. 17 (1), 2017)
