Post-Development @ 25: on ‘being stuck’ and moving forward, sideways, backward and otherwise

Gustavo Esteva and Arturo Escobar

Third World Quarterly, 2017, vol. 38, issue 12, 2559-2572

Abstract: Escobar and Esteva engage in a retrospective conversation on Post-Development, reassessing the critiques and discussing openly the meaning of ‘living beyond development’ today. Some of the topics covered include: how the development discourse has shaped mentalities and practices; the tensions and contradictions in the institutional world, trapped in their compulsion for development in the face of the multiple crisis plaguing the world; the new manifestations of the resistance to development; and the relevant experiences that anticipate the new worlds beyond development and patriarchal capitalist modernity and towards the pluriverse.
