Document Summary
Arturo escobar: a post-development thinker to be reckoned with. Draws on in uences from foucault to said. One response to the development impasse caused by moderation and dependency theories was can do neoliberalism . Neoliberalism -a modi ed form of liberalism tending to favour free-market capitalism. Another involved re ection on the very purpose of development. This took shape across alternative approaches including environment, gender and sustainability. All these approaches grew up alongside the neoliberal right. The most distinctive new approach, however one set on meeting the new rights noisiness with a strategic and all encompassing silence was the post-development thinking embodied by the work of colombian scholar arturo escobar. Escobars ideas are best summed up in his 1995 book encountering development -which offered much more than an analysis of mainstream development economics or the sprawling array of development actors and institutions it spawned.
