The New Regional Politics of Development

"A broad-ranging assessment of the various development strategies being pursued in the various major regions of the world written to a tight editorial remit by leading authorities on each region. Its aim is to map new patterns of development and inequality moving beyond outdated distinctions between 'developing' and 'developed' areas. To this end it draws on approaches from international political economy to treat development as a strategy of orientation towards the global political economy which all states of all types have necessarily to pursue in the contemporary era."--BOOK JACKET
