Synopsis

This text presents an overview of the changes brought about in Third World countries since the end of the cold war. The book does so in two ways: in section one it uses themes as a way of highlighting major areas of change in the Third World and in section two it uses regional case-studies as a means of isolating changes specific to certain regions. The themes chosen by the editors - economics, politics, security - are not, of course, exhaustive, but are broadly interpreted so as to encompass the major areas of change among Third World countries. The regional case-studies - Asia-Pacific, Latin America, South Asia, Africa, the Middle East - were selected to bring out both the themes and the diversity of experience. The essays, written by scholars in the field of International Relations, cater for a variety of constituencies: those who seek the "big picture" in understanding the Third World in international relations; those who look for general patterns, explanations, and trends in Third World politics; and those who seek up-to-date information and analysis on the progress of different regions. This book is intended for undergraduates in their final year and MA-level students studying Third World international relations and Third World politics.
