The book argues that, when the capability approach becomes a guide for development praxis, the central role that it gives to individual freedom in promoting development would need to be re-examined. The book aims to provide an alternative to a conception of development based solely on human freedom, and introduces structural, political and historical considerations. Arguments are documented with case studies from Central America and the Caribbean.
