very good....but needs an editor December 18, 2007

This is a very useful collection / reconfiguration of Norman Long's writings on development, updating his earlier thought in relation to more recent literature and social theory, and offering both a useful antidote to overly Foucauldian writings on the topic, and insights on the relation between structure and agency, and processes of state formation, that go well beyond the study of development. But it really needs an editor -- the chapters have been constructed from prior texts in ways that seem haphazard -- for example, p. 64 repeats an entire paragraph more or less verbatim from p. 62, likewise p.45 and p. 41.
