The Disenchantment of Political Development: Epistemes, Cultures, and Policies

The Disenchantment of Political Development is a serious study of the most problematic issues of development. Author Nasr M. Arif examines theories of political and social development that have been presented to the non-Western world as "scientific" theories, which represent the only valid paradigm. Through a multi-method approach, the epistemological, cultural, socio-political, and economical dimensions of development are deeply analyzed.
