It then remained underdeveloped during the second civil war (1979-1991). Only fairly recently has higher education and its research become an important pillar of Cambodian development strategy...

Encountering Development (1995), arguably Arturo Escobar’s most influential book, provides systematic analysis of development discourses and governmentality in Latin America and explores a new era of ‘post development’ that can be gleaned from pluriversal...
