Rezensionen

"In Global Learning and International Development in the Age of Neoliberalism, McCloskey explores these problems presented to the sector through the contextual lens of global learning. He argues that neoliberalism, specifically the pro-growth neoliberal model of development, is the core reason why the international development sector is in crisis. Thus, for McCloskey, re-embracing radical development education practice can help to build capacity to challenge the extreme levels of inequality created by neoliberalism ... the book offers a different perspective on today's debates about the main challenges within the field of international development and the development education sector. It engages with a wide range of cases and actors to support the critical discussion, and it raises important concerns and questions within the development sector."

"The book Global Learning and International Development in the Age of Neoliberalism by Stephen McCloskey, published in 2022 by Routledge, appears to be a crucial work to accompany the critical debate on cooperation for development and education for development/ global citizenship education (ED/ECG). Following the tradition of critical pedagogy that is based on the work of Paulo Freire, in particular his seminal text from 1968, Pedagogy of the Oppressed (Freire, 2005), McCloskey guides us along the paths of the crisis that the sector of cooperation for development is experiencing the neoliberal growth paradigm as the main driver of this crisis ... This book, by the approach that follows, is an excellent guide for researchers, students and activists, since it does not limit itself to taking the reader along the paths of this crisis, pointing out, throughout the book, alternatives that can contribute to mitigate this crisis, indicating critical ED/ECG as an essential point ... Stephen McCloskey's book is a must-read for activists and students interested in the area of development cooperation and ED/ECG as it provides a comprehensive reflection on the field and allows questioning the NGOization of the sector under analysis."
