Noting that the development programs of the past half century have made no difference in the states of the South where they have been enacted, Arif explores various approaches to the notion of development, essentially deconstructing it from his perspective as a non-native westerner. Some of the chapters have been published or presented previously in Arabic. There is no index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

The Disenchantment of Political Development is a serious study of the most problematic issues of development. Author Nasr M. Arif examines theories of political and social development that have been presented to the non-Western world as "scientific" theories, which represent the only valid paradigm. Through a multi-method approach, the epistemological, cultural, socio-political, and economical dimensions of development are deeply analyzed.
