After Development: Surplus Population and the Politics of Entitlement.
2017. Development and Change, 48: 1247–1261.
This lecture was delivered at the DSA Annual Conference, Oxford, 12–14 September 2016. Versions of the lecture were presented as the Munro Lecture, University of Edinburgh, 2 March 2017, and the Wertheim Lecture, University of Amsterdam, 6 June 2017. Thanks to interlocutors at these events for comments that assisted me in revising and sharpening my arguments. My lecture draws on joint work I am undertaking with James Ferguson of Stanford University, and I acknowledge his contribution to my thinking on these topics.
