Opis

This title was first published in 2002. By bringing together an inspiring mix of US and African contributors to write chapters of a truly international focus, Professor Logan has produced a definitive work on globalization. The dynamics of the unfolding globalized economic, political, socio-cultural and environmental systems result in poverty.
