In a world seemingly surfing a wave of unprecedented affluence, it
is sobering to be reminded that only thirty out of nearly two
hundred countries can really be classified as advanced
industrialized countries. Eighty per cent of the world's population
lives in the developing world. This popular, concise introduction
scrutinises the developing world, its varied political institutions
and the key social, economic and environmental issues at the heart
of contemporary debates. Wide-ranging and clearly written, Politics
and Society in the Developing World begins by providing a brisk
survey of the major theoretical and methodological interpretations
of the social impact of development. It then details the factors
which determine the parameters of the developing world before
moving on to examine its infrastructure and the crises currently
facing it. The book also covers the social and economic contexts of
developing societies, the international arena and its impact on the
developing world, state-building and the tension between
dictatorship and democratization. The book focuses on four policy
areas: aid, trade, tourism and the environment.
