About this title

Review

"Extremely readable and worthwhile. . . . Clapham's work provides a balanced and insightful perspective of an area which is as complex and diverse as the many countries which comprise its whole."--"Journal of International Law & Politics"
"To write a summary of Third World politics is a nearly impossible task. . . . Professor Clapham has been able to present a challenging analysis that is worthy of attention. . . . This book is recommended to any Latin Americanist who wishes to put Latin America in the context of the Third World. It is written in clear English without complex statistical data."--"Latin America in Books"
"If the life of the citizens of the third world is to be improved the emphasis must be on the here and now or, as Clapham puts it, 'the problem is not where you should be trying to go but how you should get there.' . . . This is a splendid book which should not only find its place on student reading lists but can be read with great profit by specialists within the field."--John A Wiseman," London Times Higher Education Supplement"
