In this presentation, Corbridge will reflect on the status and integrity of development studies as a discipline. Is it an impossible enterprise, and if not, why not? How meaningful are discourses of "development" at a time of war in Iraq and when the median age of death in sub-Saharan Africa is slightly less than 5 years?
