Sommario/riassunto

First published in 1988, this reissue presents a comprehensive overview of contemporary developments and research into the geography of the Third World, at a time when economies and societies there were changing at a much more rapid rate than their counterparts



in the developing world. It covers the topic both systematically and by region, showing how the unique background of each region affects developments there.
