Global Frontiers of Social Development in Theory and Practice: Climate, Economy, and Justice

B. Mohan

This volume examines developmentality and the archeology of its social practices, unfolding systemic failures that muffle progress. Economic, climate, and social justice are the areas of focus for this analysis of human-social development in the fog of ideological-institutional meltdowns.
