Development and Social Change : A Global Perspective - Thryft

Understanding globalization: complex, meaningful, and clear.

Development and Social Change: A Global Perspective is a great read for those who seek an in-depth understanding of globalization and its impacts. It provides a world-historical, political, and ecological perspective to situate globalization in the declining fortunes of the postwar development project. The book emphasizes resistance and social movements as actors shaping the meaning and direction of these projects, in addition to building alternatives. The case studies make the intricacies of globalization concrete, meaningful, and clear for students. The book challenges readers to recognize themselves as global citizens whose consumption decisions have real social and ecological implications.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

In his Fifth Edition of Development and Social A Global Perspective, author Philip McMichael examines the project of globalization and its instabilities (climate, energy, food, financial crises) through the lens of development and its origins in the colonial project. The book continues to help 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 connect social change, development policies, global inequalities and social movements. The book challenges students to see themselves as global citizens whose consumption decisions have real social and ecological implications.
