N2  - key concepts of the development discourse in the post-war era. Each essay examines one concept from a historical and anthropological point of view and highlights its particular bias. Exposing their historical obsolescence and intellectual sterility,  the authors call for a bidding farewell to the whole Euro centric development idea.
