Dictionary of Development: Third World Economy, Environment, Society (Garland Reference Library of Social Science) - Hardcover

Reseña del editor

Brings together definitions and descriptions in readily consultable, alphabetical form of the major facts, concepts, events, and issues (and their related periodicals) related to the development process. Includes evaluative analyses of issues and policies employed to achieve development, and an annotated listing of non-governmental organizations involved in the development field. A section of developing country indicators provides statistical data on Third World societies and economics. The entries are profusely cross-referenced. The short introduction is excellent and puts the blame for Third World immiseration squarely in the First World. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
