Development as freedom

Abstract

The discourse on ‘Development’ – a central motif of narratives of modernity – addresses a highly contentious problem field and offers neither stable signifiers nor much common ground on the nature, tendencies, ethics, and politics of a process of development in our contemporary world. Nevertheless, certain strands of thinking have been able to exercise a dominant influence on this discourse and have thus led the way in delineating the possibilities for imagining and even encountering Development Escobar (1995) .
