The Process of Economic Development
The third edition of
The Process of Economic Development
offers a thorough and up-to-date
presentation of development economics. This landmark text will continue to be an invaluable
resource for students, teachers and researchers in the fields of development economics and
development studies.
Each subject area in this vast, inter-disciplinary field has been thoroughly re-analyzed in
light of current published material in specialized journals, books, and United Nations, World
Bank and International Monetary Fund publications. Much has happened in the developing
world since the appearance of the second edition in 2002. The period has seen remarkable
growth rates in countries such as China and India, the accession of a number of post-communist
economies to the European Union, the financial crisis in Argentina and continuing desperate
poverty in many African countries. This third edition reflects these developments and includes
new material on the following:
n
ational systems of innovation, including information technology in India
t
he ongoing impact of globalization
t
he continuing programs of foreign aid across all developing countries.
Cypher and Dietz’s text is the development economics text
par excellence,
as it takes a
much more practical, hands-on approach to the issues facing developing countries than its
overly mathematical rivals. It will appeal to all those studying this important subject area.
