Purchase options and add-ons

An impressive line-up of international contributors provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to politics in the developing world. The first four parts explore the theoretical approaches, the changing nature and role of the state, and the major policy issues that confront all developing countries. The final parts set out a diverse range of country case studies, representing all the main geographical regions. These country case studies illustrate the themes introduced in the thematic chapters and highlight the developing world as a place of diversity and rapid transformations. Readers are provided with the tools to appreciate the perspectives of developing countries. The fifth edition has been thoroughly updated to address topical issues and themes, including refugee movements; the rise of the so-called Islamic State; organised crime; gender; the role of new forms of communication in political mobilization; and the replacement of Millennium Development Goals by Sustainable Development Goals. Two new country case studies have been added: Syria and the Sudan.This title is available as an eBook. Visit VitalSource for more information or to purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Très bonne qualité, livre un peu trop descriptif et pas assez analytique
Reviewed in Canada on 27 February 2023

J'ai acheté ce livre pour l'un de mes cours et je l'ai recu sous un format de bonne qualité. En revanche, pour le contenu du livre, j'ai trouvé que c'était très descriptif et pas assez analytique à mon goût. Il s'agit surement du fait que ça soit un cours d'introduction seulement.

1.0 out of 5 stars Textbook Review
Reviewed in Canada on 4 November 2018
Verified Purchase
This textbook is quite long and presents things from a single perspective (i.e., a neoliberal perspective). It should have been summarized and shortened for the sake of brevity, thus allowing the reader to analyse political histories, development, and economies more thorougly- connecting it to the developed world.
