Summary/Abstract: After decades of critical insights from various theoretical positions, development continues to be considered a contested and sometimes contradictory concept. This paper presents the contribution of decolonial thought to the critiques of development, as well as examining how this approach enables more comprehensive assessment of the problem and the alternatives through an epistemological shift, known as the decolonial turn. Drawing from the genealogy and the core concepts of decolonial theory, it outlines the decolonial understanding of development as an aspect of the rhetoric of modernity and a practice of reproduction of coloniality.
