註釋* An issues-based approach to global change from a Southern perspective
* A popular introductory text on contemporary development issues
* A great companion to John Isbister’s Promises Not Kept
* Replete with illustrative case studies

In this era of rapid globalization, increasing poverty and inequality are creating fertile fields for anger, despair, and violence. This introductory text addresses key political and economic challenges facing Southern countries as they engage with the global system. Through the eyes of ordinary people in the Global South, such as small farmers in Kenya and garment workers in Bangladesh, Thomas-Slayter identifies critical issues that will shape twenty-first century development.
