In that time the ‘development agenda’ has been substantially transformed by rapid political and economic changes, which in turn have radically altered the thrust and focus of teaching and research on development. It therefore seemed to us an appro¬ priate time to take stock of the development studies field, and in particular to evaluate the dominant ideas that appear to govern development practice and to consider the extent to which alternative ideas (and practices) might challenge the prevailing orthodoxies. We thank the many colleagues - not only at our own university but also in a number of other universities, countries and development agencies - who have helped to shape the ideas and interests of the contributors to this book. We also owe thanks to the truly international body of students who bring to our courses real experience and understanding of development practice, and from whom we constantly learn. We are particularly grateful to our Publisher Steven Kennedy, who always gave sympathetic encouragement to our project; and to Karen Hunt, who worked wonders to produce a respectable typescript at very short notice.
