SUMMARYConsultants are an integral component of development aid. Their involvement is based on an assumption of the transferability of knowledge to clients and beneficiaries. However, this role, its efficacy and the concept of knowledge transfer have all been questioned. Although research has shown interest in northern development consultants in recent years, detailed processes and practices of southern consultants' engagement with knowledge production are less analysed. Drawing on debates about knowledge, power and managing development interventions and on extensive fieldwork exploring a Bolivian consultancy company's assignments for northern development agencies, we analyse the 'knowledge engagements' between clients, consultants and beneficiaries. The results suggest a novel theorisation: knowledge engagements are shaped by power relations exercised through discourses and financial aid on one hand and shared and unshared lifeworlds and backgrounds of actors on the other. They are also characterised by collusive behaviour with the discourses and practices of aid on the part of consultants and beneficiaries, which in turn influences outcomes. Southern consultants, although aware of these issues, are in a difficult position to challenge these relationships. A greater recognition of the tensions could lead to a new role for consultants if collective action were to renegotiate their terms of engagement and aim for a new mutuality.

Summary This article examines some of the main trends in the evolution of development thinking over the last 25 years or so, from three main perspectives: the nature of the political economies that constitute the object of development thought since 1950, and their international context; the nature of the economic thought prevailing when development became a fundamental issue in the early 1950s; and the ways in which development thinking has evolved in reaction to actual development processes, problems and policies.Resume Le développement de la conception du développementCet article examine quelques‐unes des principales tendances dans l'évolution de la conception du développement au cours des quelque vingt‐cinq dernières années, à partir de trois points de vue: la nature des économies politiques qui constituant l'objet de la conception de développement depuis 1950, et leur contexte international; la nature de la pensée économique prédominante au moment où le développement devint une question fondamentale au début des années cinquante; et l'évolution de la conception du développement face aux réels processus, problèmes et politiques de développement.Resumen El Desarrollo del Pensamiento sobre el DesarrolloEste artículo examina algunos de las principales tendencias en la evolución del pensamiento sobre desarrollo en los últimos 25 años aproximadamente. Dicha evolución se enfoca desde tres perspectivas principales : la naturaleza de las economías y sociedades que constituían el "objeto" del pensamiento sobre desarrollo alrededor de 1950, y su contexto internacional; la naturaleza del pensamiento económico disponible cuando el problema del desarrollo económico se convirtió en el tópico central de la política económica a comienzos de la década de 1950; y la forma en la cual evolucionó y cambió el pensamiento sobre el desarrollo en respuesta a los problemas que enfrentó la política de desarrollo en las últimas décadas.

Approaches to sustainable development in cities of the South have focused too exclusively on narrow technical aspects of environmental protection, with no benefit to most residents in cities and peri-urban areas. However, in many countries of the South the disengagement of government along with budgetary constraints, a reliance on cost-recovery mechanisms within structural adjustment packages and increasing disparity between poor and rich, further reduces access by the poor to even the most rudimentary services. Development and Cities focuses on the political, social and economic viability of new or alternative approaches to urban management in the South that aim to increase access to adequate levels of basic services and healthy living and working conditions for all. Case-studies include cities in Argentina, Cuba, India, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines, Tanzania and Zimbabwe.
