Reclaiming Development Studies: Essays for Ashwani Saith

by Murat Arsel (Editor), Anirban DasGupta (Editor), Servaas Storm (Editor)

The mission, relevance and intellectual orientation of development studies is increasingly challenged from various fronts such as decoloniality, ‘global development’ and randomized control trials. The essays featured in this collection together argue for the need of the field to reclaim its critical political economy tradition. Building on the contributions of Ashwani Saith, the contributions touch upon many of the central questions of development studies centred around structural change, labour and inequality.
