Abstract
Development is a contentious concept regarded with suspicion in much of the global South. It is further complicated by its interrelationships with sovereignty and human rights. In this article is examined how development became a dirty word. Then is analysed the limitations and incoherence of the sovereign-centric conception of development and the viability of rights-based approaches as a solution to the injustices of the sovereign-centric conception. The author concludes by suggesting that impoverishment is best addressed by justice-based approaches that avoid the pitfalls of liberal cosmopolitanism.
