Description
"This major new textbook provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the main analytical approaches and their use in the study of third world politics and development. The text is organized around three key sections. The first outlines the difficulties in the various analytical approaches to the study of development and locates the important role and future relationship of political science to the field. The second presents a critical overview of each of the main schools of thought, from the politics of modernisation theories to the more recent new institutionalist and post-marxist perspectives. In the third and final section the key contemporary issue of democratization in the third world is introduced to illustrate how students can apply a framework for research and critically develop a perspective of their own. The author concludes the text with his own critique of the dominant civil society and social capital paradigm to advance new insights into democratization in the third world."--Back cover.
