Description:

'Exceptionally useful ....So's command of the relevant literature and ability to explain complex material ...makes this stimulating book useful for a variety of audiences: scholars interested in problems of Third-World development, specialists in modern world history, and undergraduates ready to tackle problems of theory' - Journal of World History

Synopsis:

This text is designed to introduce undergraduates to the study of social theory, social change and Third World development. The author compares the strengths and weaknesses of the modernization, the dependency and the world system schools of research which have dominated development studies for four decades. This book is the only study to address the research implication of the three development theories in such a comprehensive fashion.
