Development Education as an Agent of Social Change / Stephen McCloskey Conclusion: Neoliberal Decline and International Development Post-2015 / Gerard McCann In recent years the international development sector has faced new challenges to poverty eradication and the promotion of human rights. Climate change, the ongoing financial crisis and resulting political instability have had a huge impact both North and South. This completely revised third edition of this classic textbook highlights the extent to which the local and global are interconnected in today’s globalised economy and questions the legitimacy of the neoliberal model of development. It is an indispensable introduction to key issues such as aid, debt, trade, migration, security, gender in development and climate change.
