Notes

  1. 1.

    See for example Amin (1987) and Patnaik (2017) for a Marxist perspective on this. See Song (2011, 2013) for a critique of the literature on developmentalism.

  2. 2.

    See Storm and Mohan Rao (2004) for an insightful discussion.

  3. 3.

    There is by now a vast literature that has attempted to analyse Locke’s justifications of colonialism, see Lebovics (1986), Arnell (1994) and Farr (2008).
