Politics in Developing Countries provides a clear and
reader-friendly introduction to the key factors and themes that
shape political processes in developing countries. Achieving
development outcomes such as reducing poverty and inequality is
only possible through efficient governance, well-planned policies
and careful allocation of resources, but often politics in
developing countries has been identified with mismanagement,
corruption, conflict and repression of dissent. This book assesses
the politics of developing countries in the period since
decolonisation, focusing on the ways in which states have or have
not worked to the advancement of their citizens' interests. Key
topics include: Colonialism and its legacy Ethnicity and nation
building Governance, corruption and the role of the state Poverty
and the political economy of development Aid and outside influence.
Drawing on a range of case studies from around the world, Politics
in Developing Countries looks at the consistencies and variations
between developing countries, examining why some have forestalled
political change by liberalising their economies, and others have
actively stifled calls for change. Wide-ranging and engagingly
written, this introductory textbook is perfect for students of
politics and international development, as well as for those with a
general interest in the challenges faced by countries in the Global
South.
