Development after Globalisation

About the Book
Saul interrogates the reality of “under development” in an unequal world, one driven principally by western power and capitalist profit-seeking and supported by inequalities of power and influence within the countries of the “Third World” themselves. Suggesting fresh ways to consider the dynamic of the situation, Saul also seeks to rethink the manner of linking a necessary class based struggle with progressive assertion rooted in the demands of gender equality and progressive identity politics. In doing so, he look towards a synthesis of democratic, socialist and anti-imperialist sensibilities and invites scholars and activist alike to involve themselves in the kind of intellectual activism that can better underpin concrete and shared struggles, local, national, regional and global.
