Eastern And Southern Africa

Provides an overview of the economic, political, social and environmental changes that have occurred in Eastern and Southern Africa, and of the challenges for economic and human development. This book is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Development Studies, Geography, Politics, Sociology and Anthropology. A unique and comprehensive introduction to contemporary development issues in East and Southern Africa, and represents a significant departure from the often descriptive approach adopted by existing regional and development texts on African regions. Each contribution is carefully chosen to highlight the theoretical basis to development issues, and the practical problems of implementing development plans, in this vital subregion. Overall this produces comprehensive and balanced coverage of historical, economic, political and social issues. The twin issues of globalisation and modernisation give the book a clear focus.
