Christopher Clapham, senior lecturer in politics at the University of Lancaster, England, is author of Liberia and Sierra Leone: An Essay of Comparative Politics and editor (and contributor to) Foreign Policy Making in Developing States: A Comparative Analysis.
“If the life of the citizens of the third world is to be improved the emphasis must be on the here and now or, as Clapham puts it, ‘the problem is not where you should be trying to go but how you should get there.’ . . . This is a splendid book which should not only find its place on student reading lists but can be read with great profit by specialists within the field.”—John A Wiseman, London Times Higher Education Supplement
“Extremely readable and worthwhile. . . . Clapham’s work provides a balanced and insightful perspective of an area which is as complex and diverse as the many countries which comprise its whole.”—Journal of International Law & Politics
