Why are the poor countries poor? What can they do to turn their situations around? Is the globalization of production and consumption helping or hurting poor nations? What are its effects on societies in those nations? What happens to countries and individuals when they move from being "backwards" to being "modern"? "The Globalization and Development Reader" builds on the success of "From Modernization to Globalization", published by the editors in 2000, to provide an up-do-date primer and key reference for students, scholars and development practitioners wishing to get up to speed quickly on the issues of processes of social change and development in the "Third World". It includes 10 essays from the previous edition and adds 17 new ones, offering carefully excerpted samples from both classic and recent writings. A general editorial introduction to the book, and short, insightful introductions for each section, provide a well rounded foundation for non-specialist audiences.
