Eastern and Southern Africa: Development Challenges in a volatile region de Debby Potts

Eastern and Southern Africa: Development Challenges in a volatile region: Developing Areas Research Group

Autor Debby Potts, T.A.S. Bowyer-Bower
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 ian 2017
A unique and comprehensive introduction to contemporary development issues in East and Southern Africa, and represents a significant departure from the often descriptive approach adopted by existing regional and development texts on African regions. Each contribution is carefully chosen to highlight the theoretical basis to development issues, and the practical problems of implementing development plans, in this vital subregion. Overall this produces comprehensive and balanced coverage of historical, economic, political and social issues. The twin issues of globalisation and modernisation give the book a clear focus.
