The mission, relevance and intellectual orientation of development studies is increasingly challenged from various fronts such as decoloniality, 'global development' and randomized control trials. The essays featured in this collection together argue for the need of the field to reclaim its critical political economy tradition. Building on the contributions of Ashwani Saith, the contributions touch upon many of the central questions of development studies centred around structural change, labour and inequality.

Industry Reviews

"A festschrift in honour of Ashwani Saith, Reclaiming Development Studies: Essays for Ashwani Saith is a scholarly critique of the current state of development studies, its underlying tensions, and its contradictions. Rebutting dominant approaches, the book offers a stimulating study of development as an enduring societal aspiration requiring a truly interdisciplinary method of study, in the tradition of Saith's wide-ranging, articulate and incisive contributions to the subject." - Sukti Dasgupta, Chief, Employment, Labour Markets and Youth Branch, ILO, Geneva.
