How has the post-lockdown world transformed critical scholarship and intensified anti-racist activism and decolonial practice? This collection of essays explores the challenges of sustaining critical scholarship in the business school across economic crises, the rise of neo-fascism and environmental destruction. Through intimate explorations of racism, misogyny and fatigue, these essays validate care as political action and seek new methods for decolonizing academic practice, exploring the boundaries of what this means for scholarly engagement. It is a compelling examination of theory and action, which asks how anti-racist activism is opening possibilities for future critical scholarship and social change in the business school.

'Development management' is an idea that blends the seemingly innocuous claims of managerialism with notions of modernity and utopian ideals of 'third world' progress. This book views both phenomena as problematic and modernizing interventions. In doing so, it overturns and reclaims such ideas as participation, community, governance, NGOs, and civil society. The contributors argue that the practices of development are often threaded together by the language of managerialism - reports, logframe, encounters with the boss - yet all of these serve to further development's disengagement from the mundane.In voicing such concerns about the way development is going, and about the encroachment of managerialism, The New Development Management will breathe fresh life into post-development debates.
