An analytical commentary on the Philosophical investigations

Sinopse

"From Modernization to Globalization is a reference for scholars, students, and development practitioners on the issues of social change and development in the "Third World". It provides carefully excepted samples from both classic and contemporary writings in the development literature, short, insightful introductions to each section, and a general introduction.". "Arranged into four main parts, the book begins by selecting readings from classical theorists in order to review formative ideas on the transition to modern society. It then moves on to address, at length, the modernizationists' discussion of how development changes people and the response from dependency and world-system theorists. A final section assembles eight of the most influential writings on the social effects of globalization."--BOOK JACKET.
