In development theory a common narrative suggests that direct violence arises in poor countries as a result of envy as the more developed countries advance further. The remedy for this is for the less developed countries to imitate the MDC and be assisted to do so. This book challenges that narrative and argue an alternative, suggesting that structural violence keeps poor countries in misery and that the remedy is to build horizontal equitable relations. With references and index.
