The South at the End of the Twentieth Century: Rethinking the Political Economy of Foreign Policy in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Latin America (International Political Economy Series) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Recent changes in the global political economy pose major challenges to the peoples of the South as policy-makers and individuals alike seek to (re)define and secure their positions in the post-Bretton Woods and Cold War era. The emergence of new states, institutions, issues, political and economic relations, as well as new approaches which seek to make sense of these changes, have led many analysts to lament the passing of the old, bipolar, world order. For others, this marks a time of optimism: the chance to create a new, perhaps more just, world order.
This collection of essays taken from a series of international symposia held at Dalhousie University examines comparatively the impact of these issues and events in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Latin America in order to better assess the prospects for peace and development in the South at the end of the twentieth century.
