Few books in the history of Development Studies have had an impact like The Development Dictionary - A Guide to Knowledge as Power, which was edited by Wolfgang Sachs and published by Zed Books in 1992. The Development Dictionary was crucial in establishing what has become known as the Post-Development (PD) school. This volume is devoted to the legacy of The Development Dictionary and to discussing Post-Development.

This book originally published as a special issue of Third World Quarterly.
