Opis

Anchored firmly in the course requirements, Geography and Development should be welcomed as a practical resource for undergraduates taking courses in human geography and development studies. It assesses economic development across the world and reviews theories and policies of economic growth and development and their effects upon the geography of the regions. Using case study material, the author's analysis includes discussion of newly industrialized countries such as South Korea and Singapore. Alternative models which allow for independent development are also explored including discussion of the flexible specialization model in Mediterranean countries and the post-industrial, service economy based on high technology.
