This edition has been fully updated to reflect recent changes in the field and highlight issues of security, risk and violence; environmental sustainability and climate change; and the impact of ICT on patterns of North-South and South-South exchange. It also challenges students to think about how space is important in both the directions and the outcomes of change in the Global South, emphasizing the inherently spatial nature of political, economic and socio-cultural processes. Students are introduced to the Global South via contemporary debates in development and current research in cultural, economic and political geographies of developing areas. The textbook consider how images of the so-called ‘Third World’ are powerful, but problematic. It explores the economic, political and cultural processes shaping the South at the global scale and the impact that these have on people’s lives and identities. Finally, the text considers the possibilities and limitations of different development strategies.
