Studies of Development and Change in the Modern World

By Terry R. Kandal

Book Overview

This book is a collection of multidisciplinary essays by eminent scholars, and represents a reassessment of the theoretical and methodological issues involved in the study of development and social change. The issues are illustrated by case studies analyzed in their historical context. The editors argue that analysts of revolutionary movements and economic and political issues in the developing world must consider the interdependence of core and peripheral societies in a world system. The contributors then show how this perspective makes a difference in the analysis of particular national or regional issues.
