"An update of a trusted favourite, this highly accessible text does an excellent job of introducing the broad field of development studies"... the editors have assembled an all-star cast ... The second edition of the Companion confirms it as an indispensable tool for teaching in development studies, geography, sociology and politics. The editors have succeeded again in producing a text that not only expresses the breadth and vitality of the field, but also materializes the way development's object and its agents continue to evolve". -- Progress in Human Geography (33(6))
