Is 'development' the answer for positive social change or a cynical western strategy for perpetuating inequality? Moving beyond an increasingly entrenched debate about the role of NGOs, this book reveals the practices and social relations through which ideas of development are concretely enacted. THOMAS YARROW is Lecturer in Human Geography in the School of Environment,Natural Resources and Geography at Bangor University, UK. He has undertaken ethnographic research on a range of subjects including Ghanaian NGOs, the VoltaResettlement project and the interface between archaeology and anthropology. He has theoretical interests in development, globalisation, public culture, space and place.
