"Politics and Culture in the Developing World: The Impact of Globalization, Third Edition, comprehensively examines the process of development in African, Asian, Latin American, and Middle Eastern countries in the context of globalization. From history, economics, religion, and gender to democratic transitions, political leadership, and ethnic conflict, this text surveys all of the major themes - and key issues - of the developing world. The authors, drawing on their professional and personal experience, show how globalization is accelerating change in developing countries and linking them more closely to industrialized countries."--BOOK JACKET |
