| dc.description | The chapters collected in this volume were first presented in a workshop at the 1996 EASA Conference in Barcelona. The workshop organisers (Jacqueline Waldren and myself) had become increasingly concerned with the scant attention paid by anthropologists to the forms that development takes in the so-called ‘developed’ or ‘industrialised’ nations. This concern grew out of our discussions following my own experiences of studying planning in England, and finding that few anthropologists had gone before me, and even fewer had published ethnographic work on the subject, although notable work had been done in the USA: for example, Lisa Peattie at MIT and Janet Abu-Lugod in New York. The role of notions of development, identities and sentiments as a normalised part of local governance had become a central issue to our work on both tourism and local government planning over the past few years, and the opportunity to compare this with other anthropologists’ understandings of different development contexts was offered by the conference. The aim of the workshop was to reconsider the differentiated, local notions of development being used in routine state-governed development, in contrast to international aid-sponsored development. | - |
