Synopsis

Green and Luehrmann (political science, both, Wright State U.) provide a context in which students can analyze the complex dynamics and events that are taking place in the developing world as it is affected by globalization. The 22 chapters are organized into five parts: historical legacies (pre-colonial and colonial history), the international economic system (including globalization, alternative development approaches), politics and political change (civil society, violent or democratic change, etc.), looking beyond the nation-state (sovereignty and international organizations, Third World views of the US), and conclusions. Useful case studies provide examples throughout. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Review

"This book outshines any other text I have seen.... The authors do a wonderful job of synthesizing a great deal of information and presenting it in terms that should engage an audience of undergraduates." - Dwight Hahn, John Carroll University "The writing style is lively and the detail is impressive.... another welcome innovation is the welding together of the discussion of key issues with the eight country cases." - Ross Burkhart, Boise State University"
