This book explores one of the most pressing issues of our time: development, a concern that has persisted from the past century through to today, and is increasingly intertwined with challenges related to environmental sustainability and growing inequalities.

This book explores one of the most pressing issues of our time: development, a concern that has persisted from the past century through to today, and is increasingly intertwined with challenges related to environmental sustainability and growing inequalities. Despite numerous academic and policy interventions, development remains an elusive goal. Hence, this book explains how conceptualisations alternative to economic growth, have evolved in Latin American geographical literature and shows their practical applications in various contexts.
The book argues for a broader, more inclusive approach to development - territorial development - that integrates ecological, cultural, economic and social concerns. By focusing on territorial development seen from a theoretical perspective but also applied through case studies, the book underscores the importance of understanding the historical and power dynamics that influence how territories are shaped, for whom, and by whom. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a theoretical and historical background on development and territory in Latin America, presenting critical methodological perspectives for aligning academic research with community and environmental wellbeing. The second part consists of case studies that illustrate how different understandings of territory influence development agendas in diverse settings across the region.
Scholars, researchers and post-graduate students will find this an invaluable resource, as will policymakers and organizations interested in developmental practices.
