Book Description:
|
This book challenges and critques human development as practiced since the end of World War II. Nepal can be viewed as a kind of laboratory for studying the effectiveness and success of global human developments, with nearly all theories and practices attempted here since 1945. As such, it constitutes a rich grounded database allowing the editors and contributors to theorize about aid, development and technology in the 20th century and beyond.
