Development and Globalisation: Daring to Think Differently

Development and Globalisation challenges the misdirected policies of the last 30 years. It offers alternative concepts and paradigms of development for policy makers and peoples movements on wide-ranging issues. It invites readers to dare to think differently. According to the author, development is self-defined. It is primarily the responsibility of the South to develop itself; the North does not have a duty to develop the South, nor should the South expect it. Development is about building confidence between governments and people and not building confidence with banks and global financial institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, which is what globalisation is all about.
