Paperback. Condición: Very Good. 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 developmen…t 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." In a substantial new introduction, Escobar reviews debates on globalization and postdevelopment since the book's original publication in 1995 and argues that the concept of postdevelopment needs to be redefined to meet today's significantly new conditions. He then calls for the development of a field of "pluriversal studies," which he illustrates with examples from recent Latin American movements. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Condición: Muy bueno. : En 'Encountering Development', Arturo Escobar examina cómo las naciones industrializadas de Norteamérica y Europa llegaron a ser vistas como modelos para las sociedades post-Segunda Guerra Mundial en Asia, África y América Latina. El autor analiza cómo el discurso de desarrollo de la posguerra creó el con…cepto del 'Tercer Mundo' y las consecuencias de la ideología del desarrollo. Escobar destaca el papel de los economistas en este discurso y presenta visiones alternativas para una era post-desarrollo. Esta edición revisada incluye una nueva introducción que aborda los debates sobre la globalización y el post-desarrollo desde la publicación original del libro en 1995. EAN: 9780691150451 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Negocios y Economía|Historia Título: Encountering Development Autor: Arturo Escobar Editorial: Princeton University Press Idioma: en Páginas: 344 Formato: tapa blanda.
