About An Exercise in Worldmaking
First published in 2006, each subsequent MA batch has produced an edition, each of which reflects the insights and perspectives gained by MA students at ISS during their 15.5 months of study.
The essays illustrate how a diverse student body, representing over fifty countries and a host of professional and educational backgrounds, can contest, construct and redefine the notion of development; thus maintaining the contemporary social, political and economic relevance of development theory and practice.
