Here's what you say about us...

From reviews of the first edition: 'I welcome this multidisciplinary approach to the study of the Third World which covers social and cultural aspects in addition to politics and economics....Its strength lies in its broad coverage...and its attention to not only politics but industrialization, urbanization, social change, political culture and revolutions.'
Cameron Ross, Oberlin College, Ohio


' ...a profound contribution to the theory of Third World development politics. What adds to the analysis, however, is the author's impressive knowledge of Third World countries, including their social and political systems.' Barbara M. Yarnold, JD, Florida International University
