DES GASPER INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL STUDIES THE HAGUE The authors convincingly and often vividly explain how the unavoidable framings and labellings of the objects of policy secrete relations of power which can obscure as much as they reveal and often lead in policy itself to perverse outcomes. Their detail is riveting their analyses persuasive what they suggest realistic and deeply sensible. This immensely readable collection is indispensable for anyone who wants to think about how they think about "development" and should be forced on all who dont. GEOFFREY HAWTHORN PROFESSOR OF INTERNATIONAL POLITICS UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE This is an essential book not only for those interested in understanding the development industry but also for development practitioners.
