Author Description

"By tracing out the intersection between the imagined space of the national economy and the gendered construction of "expert" knowledge in development thought, Suzanne Bergeron provides an analysis of development discourse and practice. By elaborating a framework of including/excluding economic subjects and activities in development economics, she provides an account of the role that economists have played in framing the contested political and cultural space of development." "Fragments of Development is essential reading for those interested in development studies, feminist economics, international political economy, and globalization studies."--BOOK JACKET.
