Although the impact of rapid technological change is often
discussed in relation to the Global North, this book explores its
effects on the development of the Global South. By tracing the
discourse and practice of international development in the
twentieth century, Ruth E. Gordon offers necessary context to
current changes in the global hierarchy. The book explores the
situation of the Global South within the international legal,
political, and economic order, how current development discourse
and practice engages modernization efforts, and how technology can
bring about significant economic and societal change for middle and
low-income nations. It offers a balanced account of the positive
and negative impacts of technological change on the Global South,
from mobile phones allowing access to knowledge to robotics
reducing employment opportunities. This book demonstrates that, for
the Global South, technology is making more things both conceivable
and achievable.
