Autor T. Jakimow
en Limba Engleză Hardback – sep 2015
The ways we understand processes of agrarian change are pressing issues for policy makers and development practitioners.

Recenzii

“Decentring Development is an important and interesting theoretical contribution to this pragmatic and oft-repeated question. … This reviewer enjoyed the critical observations and analysis of development in this book. Jakimow makes a strong case for the extension of critical and decentred approaches into donor-funded development research. … I would suggest that development practitioners are surprisingly reflexive about their profession and would welcome Decentring Development … .” (Melissa Johnston, Journal of Contemporary Asia, Vol. 46 (3), 2016)
