New Political Economy of Development

RAY KIELY is Professor of International Politics, Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London, UK.

'This invaluable text aims to restore to development the 'broad ambition of that once stimulating area of study' by re-setting it in the indispensable historical and political-economic context from which it has been progressively divorced in recent decades and engaging with the large and complex forces that actually determine the fate of the world's poor. To a truly admirable extent, it succeeds, in the process guiding the reader through a vast range of literature and making judicious assessments of all the key debates.' - Colin Leys, Emeritus Professor, Queen's University, Kingston, Canada
