Opis

The Antipodes – Australia and New Zealand - share an ambivalent location as countries of the ‘North' in wealth, development and dominant intellectual genealogies but ‘South' in latitude and history. This innovative book is the first to explore the approaches to development produced by the Antipodes’ geopolitical positioning.

This book was published as a special issue of Third World Quarterly.
