‘A strength of this Handbook is the broad spread of its chapter authors – geographically and by gender and ethnicity – as well as drawing country-specific examples of development challenges and how they have been handled. ... It provides foundational knowledge on the current state of development theory. More importantly, it forces the reader to confront and critically reflect on their own personal views. Regardless of the conclusions one draws from this Handbook, it represents a necessary next step in development theory. The Handbook is not complacent. It does not just critique the current state of development theory. Rather, it aims to inspire a mutation within development theory – to unlock and to create a new mode of development and a new identity of development theory.’
