"Development and Social Change is a richly described and well written survey of change in the post1950 period...The first edition was a practical and accessible contribution to the literature on social change. The fourth edition continues in this vein."TEACHING SOCIOLOGYExplores development through historical narrative and examines the globalization/development paradox through indepth case studiesDevelopment and Social Change: A Global Perspective, Fourth Edition, describes the dramatic acceleration of the global and political economy across three historical periods: colonialism, the development era, and the current era of globalization. Author Philip McMichael helps students make sense of a complex world in transition and explains how globalization became part of public discourse. Filled with case studies, this text makes the intricacies of globalization concrete, meaningful, and clear for students and moves them away from simple social evolutionary views, encouraging them to ponder social change, development, and global inequalities. The book challenges students to see themselves as global citizens whose consumption decisions have real implications.New to the Fourth EditionLinks contemporary world issues such as slum proliferation, rebellion in Latin America, AIDS, the rise of China, and climate change to the longterm course of development as a global project Weaves a stronger ecological theme into the story and emphasizes gendered features of modernization, as well as the complexity of its progressive claims, urging students to think critically about the costs and benefits of development Reviews current trends and asks new questions about the future of international development Instructors Resources on CD are available to qualified instructors.
