A unique and comprehensive introduction to contemporary development issues in East and Southern Africa, and represents a significant departure from the often descriptive approach adopted by existing regional and development texts on African regions. Each contribution is carefully chosen to highlight the theoretical basis to development issues, and the practical problems of implementing development plans, in this vital subregion. Overall this produces comprehensive and balanced coverage of historical, economic, political and social issues. The twin issues of globalisation and modernisation give the book a clear focus.
"The chapters are well cross-referenced, each concluding with a considerable reference list, sometimes including websites. Tables summarise and add to the text... Overall, the authors do a good job of elucidating why African countries have largely failed to develop and the book is well suited to university classroom use."
