Summary, etc. | [11:51, 21/02/2022] Rashid Ali: Comparative Politics of the Third World offers just the right blend of<br/>theory and substance to introduce students in a meaningful way to the<br/>developing or not developing world. Avoiding both over generalization and<br/>the problems of a strictly country-by-country approach, authors Green and<br/>Luehrmann consistently link concepts pertaining to history, politics,<br/>economics and international relations to a set of eight case studies: the<br/>"classic" cases of Mexico, Nigeria, Iran and China and the alternative" cases<br/>of Peru, Zimbabwe, Turkey and Indonesia. Their approach, an accessible and<br/>even compelling narrative, is directed specifically at today's undergraduate<br/>students.<br/>Among the many outstanding features of this new edition:<br/>Uses the familiar concreteness of case studies fully updated to make sense<br/>of both classic and cutting-edge theory.<br/>Provides the analytical tools needed to appreciate the enormous diversity<br/>of experience within and across regions.<br/>Makes economic indicators and trends understandable, incorporating the<br/>most current data.<br/>Discusses new "hot topics” human trafficking, the spread of avian flu, oil<br/>wars in Nigeria, US antiterrorist activities, weapons proliferation, the<br/>impact of Islamism that highlight interdependence.<br/>Addresses the sticky issue of terminology, confronting the implications of<br/>the use of "third world," "global south," "developing world," etc.<br/>Raises controversies: offers a stimulating account that will challenge<br/>students' preconceptions, arouse their curiosity, and foster critical<br/>thinking.<br/>This is a text that shows students why they should care about what happens<br/>in the third world and how they are affected by it. |
