Just about everyone is 'for' development as an assumed 'good', yet few seem to have a concrete idea of what the term actually entails. Development offers a comprehensive and wide-ranging analysis of the various ways in which this important concept has been used in social and political analysis over the past 200 years.

"Much more than a useful guide, it is an elaborate work in
political economy that succeeds in the skilful task of putting
studies about development on an independent baseline, situating it
at the heart of the 'new political economy'."
Political Studies Review
"Payne and Phillips make a robust case for (re)integrating analysis
of development into the intellectual project of political economy,
anchored in classical theory. In a world with increasingly evident
limits, this comprehensive intervention is timely and critical,
offering historical-theoretical support for a holistic approach to
development."
Philip McMichael, Cornell University
"'Development' is the name we give to the third most important
set of issues facing mankind, after nuclear proliferation and
climate change. Anthony Payne and Nicola Phillips explain the
evolution of the intellectual debate about the subject, starting
with the eighteenth century classical political economists and
continuing up to the present. Comprehensive and elegantly written,
their study is about the best available between two covers."
Robert Wade, London School of Economics
"This is a timely, valuable and important book which clarifies
significantly the often vaguely used concept of 'development' by
placing it firmly in the contemporary global context and anchoring
it authoritatively in a multi-disciplinary understanding of the
interactions of political and economic processes."
Adrian Leftwich, University of York
"This book makes a refreshing contribution to the understanding
of the development debates and, more importantly, it rehabilitates
the concept by rooting it in the broader intellectual enterprise of
political economy. A most welcome resource. A job well done!"
Diana Tussie , FLACSO, Argentina
