Summary:

Palgrave Advances offers a series of innovative books which orientate graduate and upperlevel students within the current state of a field of study. Providing introductions to and overviews of the key debates, each text brings together leading international scholars who survey, question and push the boundaries of the discipline. The Palgrave Advances in Politics provide overviews of the current theoretical approaches, methodology and themes in academic research. Foregrounding new research, these books seek to map the future direction of the field.

Palgrave Advances in Development Studies aims to provide readers with an understanding of the disparate theories concerning development, their assumptions and the intellectual forces underpinning them. In thirteen specially commissioned essays, leading contributors from the field of Development Studies present the relevant material to analyze and evaluate current debates about development, together with the intellectual tools to judge contemporary arguments concerning development across the world and the ability to relate theories of development to contemporary policy issues.
