Reviews
'...provides a powerful critique of the authoritarian development strategies, subverted forms of democratization and the socio-ecological costs of capitalist globalization in Asia. It makes a significant contribution to development theory and is a must read for all those who want to understand the true nature of development and globalization in Asia as well as the prospects for democracy and freedom in this region (and the rest of the world).' Richard L. Harris, California State University, Monterey Bay, USA and Managing Editor, Journal of Developing Societies, 'A richly informed, wide-ranging and analytically compelling account of the politics of Asian globalization that will instruct and challenge readers from many backgrounds. By creatively and critically developing the insight of Amartya Sen, the Thorntons put forward a humane and democratic alternative to the neoliberal social order.' Joseph G. Peschek, Hamline University, USA
