postdevelopment

 
Geography Dictionary: postdevelopment

A postdevelopment approach is not anti-*development; rather, it is a political acknowledgement of the injustices and unequal power relationships of the practice of development, and a view that development cannot offer sufficient tools for transformation. Instead, it suggests resistance to globalization provided by grassroots organizations and non-governmental organizations, alternative forms of livelihood, and local forms of knowledge and practice.
