Summary
The book attempts to bridge the current division between development and management studies by constructing a critique of "development management"--an approach to development that blends seemingly objective and neutral claims of managerialism with notions of modernity and other connected utopian ideas of "Third World" progress. Some of these approaches are affiliated with the growing field of critical management studies; others are from the development world, turning their critical frames of reference to address increasingly managerialized development processes and practices.
