FIFTY KEY THINKERS ON

DEVELOPMENT

Fifty Key Thinkers on Development is the essential guide to the world’s most

influential development thinkers. It presents a unique guide to the lives and

ideas of leading contributors to the contested terrain of development stud-

ies from both North and South. David Simon has assembled a highly

authoritative team of contributors from different backgrounds and disci-

plines to reflect on the lives and contributions of fifty leading development

thinkers from around the world. These include:

• Modernisers like Kindleberger and Rostow

• Dependencistas such as Frank, Cardoso and Amin

• Progressives like Hirschman, Prebisch, Helleiner and Streeten

• Political leaders enunciating radical alternative visions of development,

such as Mao, Nkrumah and Nyerere

• Progenitors of religiously or spiritually inspired development, such as

Gandhi and Ariyaratne

• Development-environment thinkers like Blaikie, Brookfield and Shiva

This invaluable reference is a concise and accessible introduction to the

lives and key contributions of development thinkers from across the ideo-

logical and disciplinary spectrum.

David Simon is Professor of Development Geography and Director of

the Centre for Developing Areas Research at Royal Holloway, University

of London. He is the co-editor of The Peri-Urban Interface: Approaches to Sus-

tainable Natural and Human Resource Use (Earthscan, 2005).
