    Summary note
    "Development and Social Change: A Global Perspective describes the dramatic acceleration of the global and political economy in a story that has four parts: colonialism, the development era, the current era of globalization, and global counter-movements for equity and sustainability. The text, filled with case studies, helps students make sense of a complex world in transition and explains how globalization became part of public discourse. It encourages them to see global development as a contested historical project, not simply a story about inevitable "progress." The authors show how development stems from unequal power relationships among nations, often with planet-threatening environmental outcomes.--challenging students to see themselves as global citizens whose consumption decisions have real implications"-- Provided by publisher.
