In the great cities of Latin America and Asia, international
business and local firms meet and, in particular, influence teh
development strategies of Third World countries. The authors of
Theatres of Accumulation argue that these cities play a crucial
role in the process of capital accumulation and of unequal exchange
and dependency. They examine the twin patterns of convergence and
divergence in lifestyles and economic activities, and show how the
flow of capital through the urban system beings net losses to the
rural regions and further exacerbates income inequalities between
regions and classes. Theatres of accumulation provides an overview
of urbanization in the Third World, as well as specific case
studies. It deals with theoretical issues and projects the likely
developments in urbanization in the future. Armstrong and McGee's
work is essential reading for social science and planning
professionals and students, in the developed world and the Third
World, who are concerned with urban processes. This book was first
published in 1985.
