Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy star as two mismatched cops in this comedy from 'Bridesmaids' director Paul Feig. Unaware that her colleagues hate her, prim and priggish FBI special agent Sarah Ashburn (Bullock) is seconded to Boston where she's forced to team up with foul-mouthed, take-no-prisoners detective Shannon Mullins (McCarthy). When the pair are ordered to take down a local drug baron, the two cops' wildly contrasting styles - and mutual hatred - soon threaten to derail their mission. But as the weeks pass, a grudging admiration for each others' methods brings about a thawing in hostilities, as the ill-starred crimefighters turn out to be a force to be reckoned with.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This book is written as a tribute to Frederick Nixson's extensive work on industrial development in the Global South, while seeking to actively engage with the latest arguments concerning development economics, together with changes in manufacturing and industrial policy that continue to shape the role of the Global South in the international economy, the impact of the increased concentration of global multinational corporations in that space, along with the rise of new financing tools and debt traps. The chapters pay homage to Fred's broad view of the international development process and reflect his breadth of perception both theoretically and geographically. The book targets both the scholarly and policymaking audience.
