Overview

Politics and Development in a Globalised World is a comprehensive introduction to this broad and exciting field. Jonsson and colleagues present historical and contemporary theories and approaches to social change and discusses the policies and practice adopted by various actors in promoting development through myriad local and global processes. In so doing, they cross boundaries in time, place and subject matters. The authors analyse the interplay among states, markets and societies and consider old and new actors in international development cooperation. In addition, they highlight core issues in development: democratisation, poverty, equality, justice, security, migration, global health, environment and climate change. Finally, they discuss ways to study and bring about development and to tackle future political and developmental challenges. The book is suitable for university courses but is also aimed at a broader public with an interest in development questions.
