How are wealth and poverty related to changes in nutrition, health, life expectancy, education, population growth and politics? This modern, non-technical 2005 introduction to development studies explores the dynamics of socio-economic development and stagnation in developing countries. Taking a quantitative and comparative approach to contemporary debates within their broader context, Szirmai examines historical, institutional, demographic, sociological, political and cultural factors. Key chapters focus on economic growth, technological change, industrialisation, agricultural development, and consider social dimensions such as population growth, health and education. Each chapter contains comparative statistics on trends from a sample of twenty-nine developing countries. This rich statistical database allows students to strengthen their understanding of comparative development experiences. Assuming no prior knowledge of economics the book is suited for use in inter-disciplinary development studies programmes as well as economics courses, and will also interest practitioners pursuing careers in developing countries. 000023688 650_0 $$aTraditional knowledge$$zDeveloping countries. 000023688 650_0 $$aEconomic development$$zDeveloping countries. 000023688 650_0 $$aSocial change$$zDeveloping countries. 000023688 650_0 $$aEconomic development. 000023688 650_0 $$aSocial change. 000023688 650_0 $$aDevelopment economics. 000023688 650_6 $$aDéveloppement économique. 000023688 650_6 $$aDéveloppement social. 000023688 651_0 $$aAustralia$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000023688 651_0 $$aDeveloping countries$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000023688 7001_ $$aSzirmai, Adam,$$d1946- 000023688 85641 $$3Table of contents$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/cam051/2004058281.html 000023688 85641 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/cam051/2004058281.html 000023688 906__ $$a7$$bcbc$$corignew$$d1$$eocip$$f20$$gy-gencatlg 000023688 942__ $$cMON$$jB 78 SZI.D 000023688 952__ $$w2007-06-14$$p2006-0040$$u37203$$bMAIN$$10$$kB 78 SZI.D$$v2007-06-14$$ztagged$$71$$cLibrary 000023688 955__ $$apc15 2004-08-31 RUSH to SSCD$$ise38 2004-09-01$$aaa05 2004-09-02$$apv19 2005-08-24 2 copies rec'd., to CIP ver.$$asb00 2005-08-30 000023688 980__ $$aBIB 000023688 999__ $$c25908$$d25908
