[SR: 6898513], Hardcover, [EAN: 9780691034096], Princeton University Press, Princeton University Press, Book, [PU: Princeton University Press], Princeton University Press, How did the industrialized nations of North America and Europe come to be seen as the appropriate models for post-World War II societies in Asia, Africa, and Latin America? How did the postwar discourse on development actually create the so-called Third World? And what will happen when development ideology collapses? To answer these questions, Arturo Escobar shows how development policies became mechanisms of control that were just as pervasive and effective as their colonial counterparts. The development apparatus generated categories powerful enough to shape the thinking even of its occasional critics while poverty and hunger became widespread. "Development" was not even partially "deconstructed" until the 1980s, when new tools for analyzing the representation of social reality were applied to specific "Third World" cases. Here Escobar deploys these new techniques in a provocative analysis of development discourse and practice in general, concluding with a discussion of alternative visions for a postdevelopment era. Escobar emphasizes the role of economists in development discourse--his case study of Colombia demonstrates that the economization of food resulted in ambitious plans, and more hunger. To depict the production of knowledge and power in other development fields, the author shows how peasants, women, and nature became objects of knowledge and targets of power under the "gaze of experts.", 2585, Development & Growth, 2581, Economics, 3, Business & Money, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 2675, Management & Leadership, 2735, Business Ethics, 2678, Consolidation & Merger, 10020709011, Corporate Governance, 2679, Decision-Making & Problem Solving, 16244401, Distribution & Warehouse Management, 2680, Industrial, 2648, Information Management, 2682, Leadership, 2683, Management, 2684, Management Science, 10020710011, Mentoring & Coaching, 2685, Motivational, 2686, Negotiating, 2689, Planning & Forecasting, 2690, Pricing, 2691, Production & Operations, 271578011, Project Management, 10020711011, Quality Control & Management, 2553, Strategy & Competition, 2694, Systems & Planning, 2697, Training, 3, Business & Money, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 11237, General, 11233, Anthropology, 3377866011, Politics & Social Sciences, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 11288, Sociology, 16244271, Abuse, 271633011, Class, 297480, Death, 11291, Marriage & Family, 16311191, Medicine, 10582, Race Relations, 11293, Rural, 11294, Social Theory, 11296, Urban, 3377866011, Politics & Social Sciences, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 684244011, Business Development, 468220, Business & Finance, 465600, New, Used & Rental Textbooks, 2349030011, Specialty Boutique, 283155, Books, 491448, Anthropology, 468214, Social Sciences, 465600, New, Used & Rental Textbooks, 2349030011, Specialty Boutique, 283155, Books<
