Spaces of postdevelopment
James D. Sidaway
School of Geography, University of Plymouth, Drake Circus, Plymouth PL4 8AA, UK, james.sidaway{at}plymouth.ac.uk
This paper reviews writings about postdevelopment. It argues that critical scrutiny of the contemporary reconfiguring of postcolonial sovereignties provides a productive route to rethink the geographies of development and postdevelopment. The relationship of development narratives to reconfigurations of imperialism and postcolonialism produces a complex geography of development and postdevelopment that defies neat summary, but which demands more sustained attention to the interactions of enclosure, boundaries and subjectivities.
Key Words: Bandung boundaries geopolitics postdevelopment sovereignty.
