xxxi, 452 p ill, maps ; 25 cm "The fourth edition of this well-respected textbook explores the changing nature of politics in the developing world as the twenty-first century moves into its second decade. Thematic chapters examine theoretical approaches and the historical and economic context; society-state relations; structures and processes of governance, and conflict; and the evolution of policy, including human rights and the environment. The book concludes with a revised case study section that draws out central themes and comparisons between a wide range of developing countries from Indonesia and Iraq to Brazil and Guatemala. This new edition has been thoroughly updated to take account of developments including the aftermath of the financial crisis and the "Arab spring" and includes new chapters on social movements and governance, as well as a new country case study on Brazil." -- Changing analytical approaches to the study of politics in the developing world / Vicky Randall -- Colonialism and post-colonial development / James Chiriyankandath -- Institutional perspectives / Lise Rakner and Vicky Randall -- The developing world in the global economy / Stephen Hobden -- The developing world in international politics / Stephen Hobden -- Inequality / Jenny Pearce -- Ethnopolitics and nationalism / James R.
