Description
In this new edition, the authors continue to offer an innovative blend of theory and empirical material as they introduce the politics of what was once called the “third world”. A central theme is how the Covid-19 pandemic has worked as a hinge event – accelerating troubling trends and amplifying longstanding socioeconomic and political problems. The result is a text that has been successfully designed to challenge students’ preconceptions, arouse their curiosity, and foster critical thinking.
