The Second World War marked a radical, global transformation of political and economic hierarchies. With the rise of the United States from hemispheric to world power, the demise of colonialism and the emergence of Asia and other non-European regions, the Eurocentrism that had shaped the world during the previous 150 years came to an end.1 The United Nations became a fundamental forum for the debate that accompanied this global transformation, while at the level of ideas the European notion of a 'civilizing mission' gave way to a new conceptual framework, the idea of 'development'. As two historians wrote, this new notion 'appealed as much to leaders of "underdeveloped" societies as to the people of developed countries, and it gave citizens in both categories a share in the intellectual universe and in the moral community that grew up around the world-wide development initiative of the post-World War II era'.2 For decades to follow, generations of scholars, activists and policy makers would devote their careers to discussing development as a theory and set of practices, to such an extent that development, in whatever its current iteration, would impact questions as broad and as interrelated as post-war reconstruction, the fall of empires, the Cold War and the emancipation of entire countries and continents
