M. A.M. Salih – författare

Development Theory and Climate Change is an illuminating exploration of the decline and subsequent revival of development theories. M.A. Mohamed Salih demonstrates how the end of the Cold War and the ascendancy of neoliberal global capitalism have caused the revival of core conceptual frameworks derived from modernization, dependency and the world system.M.A. Mohamed Salih discusses the way in which these development theories have earlier prioritized ideology over authentic progress and neglected to consider the environment and the experiences of women in their analyses of development. He reflects on ecofeminist, political ecology feminist and post-development discourses which offer alternatives to neoliberal international climate change policies, as well as activists such as Extinction Rebellion, who reject these policies entirely. The book ultimately proposes a reassessment of development theory beyond the climate change crisis, interrogating relations between developing and more developed industrially advanced countries in the Anthropocene.Students and scholars of development studies, environmental and human geography and sociology and sociological theory will greatly benefit from this pioneering book. Interdisciplinary in scope, it is also a vital resource for policymakers and practitioners working in climate change and development, as well as environmental activists and NGOs.

Providing an assessment of regional frameworks in Africa, this timely book looks at how regional cooperation among countries in Africa has intensified over the last 30 years. The authors explore how unequal power relations and unequal levels of development among partner states influence these frameworks. Analysing the main factors influencing the political economy of Africa's asymmetrical regionalism, chapters focus on regional and sub-regional trade, investment, and the movement of people and services. Wil Hout and M.A. Mohamed Salih pay particular attention to the ways in which regional and sub-regional dynamics are impacted by extra-regional relations. Peace and security are also analysed as important factors shaping relations and dynamics, demonstrating that African regionalism is influenced by more than economic processes.Political economy and development studies scholars will benefit from the data-rich analysis in the book. It will also be a valuable read for policy makers and advisors involved in regional cooperation in and with African regions.
