Rethinking Development Politics

Ilan Kapoor and Gavin Fridell

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: In this innovative book, Ilan Kapoor and Gavin Fridell rethink development politics psychoanalytically, investigating its unconscious. Whereas mainstream development politics is organized around stability and rationality, psychoanalysis points to disharmony and irrationality, helping to explain the development subject’s often self-defeating behaviour.
