Review
This second edition of Political Change and Underdevelopment is certainly an important contribution to the understanding of the continuities and changes existing between classical and novel theoretical debates on Third World politics.' - Patricio Silva, The European Journal of Development Research
'This work, in its detailed appraisal of complex concepts and analytical literature, provides a textured understanding of the stengths and weaknesses of development theory.' - Heather Deegan, Commonwealth & Comparative Politics
'The book provides a lucid and critical overview of the development of theories of development, from the crudely teleological modernisation theories of the 1950s, to more recent post-colonial democratisation and globalisation approaches, many of which problematise the very notion of a third world.' - Susan Carruthers, Times Higher Education Supplement

"From reviews of the first edition":
"Randall and Theobald have written an excellent book. . . . While reviewing and synthesizing complex concepts, theories, and scholarly terminology, [they] manage to remain straightforward and understandable."--P. Vannicelli, "Choice
""Eclectic and well-balanced, [with an] integrative spirit that takes account of, but is not bound by, various theoretical approaches. . . . Randall and Theobald do an admirable job of presenting and assessing the evolution of thinking about politics in the Third World."--Joan M. Nelson"American Political Science Review"
