Reinventing developmentthe sceptical change agent /[electronic resource] :by Adam Fforde. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2017. - xxv, 288 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

This book debunks the foundations of contemporary government-led development policy. The author questions the predictability of success when using mainstream development doctrines and its underlying assumptions, approaching development from a sceptical standpoint, as opposed to the more common optimistic view. The book uses international development and aid as a case study of how rich countries define how change should happen. Further, it suggests alternative ways of thinking about and organizing social change.
