Now in its eleventh edition, The Other World combines thematic and area studies approaches to explore contemporary global issues. Accessible and interdisciplinary, this textbook offers political, economic, social, and historical analyses of Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa and the Middle East, and Asia. The Other World highlights similarities and differences as it recognizes the challenges and opportunities offered by globalization.
New to the eleventh edition:
- A new co-author, Sara Lopus, whose academic training at the intersection of social, agricultural, and environmental problems enhances the interdisciplinary appeal of the book.
- A new concluding chapter on Other World features in Western countries and postcolonialism.
- Revamped sections on “Perspectives on Globalization,” with cases on creative responses to sustainability, sovereignty, and cultural change issues.
- Discussion of new topics including cybersecurity and cyberwarfare, the impact of supply chain bottlenecks, food politics and issues of global obesity, the rise of zoonotic diseases and pandemics such as Covid-19, new regional diplomacy in Middle East, protest and political change in Latin America, refugee flows, the emergence of ageing populations, and many more.
The Other World is the perfect introductory text to the world’s developing regions and their political challenges – a must buy for courses in comparative politics, politics of the developing world; and introduction to international studies.
