Estudios críticos del desarrollo y el estudio de la globalización

Critical Development Studies has long engaged with the study of globalization. However, the ways in which does so and how these interact, fuse and diverge from others working in the broad field of globalization studies remain avenues to explore. In this Introductory essay, we describe how critical development studies emerged and highlight some of its contributions before presenting an overview of the six papers which comprise this Special Issue. This Special Issue has its origins in the publication of our co-edited volume, The Essential Guide to Critical Development Studies (Veltmeyer & Bowles 2018), and an invitation to seek full-length articles which examine the ways in which critical development studies (cds) engages with the study of globalization.
