Developing Countries: Gender, Poverty, and Globalization explores fundamental concepts of geography relating to developing countries. Students will learn how culture evolves spatially and temporally, and how these evolutions impact perceptions, actions, values, and ethnic identity. They will analyze major theories, and the human and physical contexts in which these theories are applied. The text begins by addressing the nature of developing countries, as well as the legacy of colonization. It then explores issues such as population, urbanization, globalization, gender, ethnic conflict, and migration. Students will examine these issues and consider how policies can be developed to create social change. Insightful and engaging, Developing Countries provides a geographical perspective on the developing world, teaches students about cultural diversity, and introduces the methods used by geographers to explore the multidimensional human environment. Ronald W. Luna holds a Ph.D. in geography from the University of Maryland, College Park, where he is currently a lecturer and the undergraduate director in the Department of Geographical Sciences. His regular course offerings include the geography of Latin America, the geography of developing nations, and migration between Latin America and the United States.

He is a frequent guest lecturer and presents regularly at conferences on issues of transnationalism, and the Latino presence in America.

Encyclopedia of Political Economy: L-Z by Phillip Anthony O'Hara Pdf
This groundbreaking Encyclopedia is the very first fully-refereed A-Z compendium of the main principles, concepts, problems, institutions, schools and policies associated with political economy. Based on developments in political economy since the 1960s, it is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to the field as well as being an authoritative reference work. Undergraduates taking courses in political economy or graduate students coming to the field for the first time will rely on this work as a key point of reference and for direction in their further reading. This lucid work compares for the first time the disparate theories of political economy (e.g, Marxist, Feminist, Sraffian etc.) and emphasizes the application of their principles to real world problems such as inflation, unemployment, development and financial instability. The extensive international team of consultants and contributors has produced a monumental work with truly global perspective.

Capacity Realization and Productivity Growth in a Developing Country by Ruhul A. Salim Pdf
First published in 1999. Firms in manufacturing industries are influenced by the market-oriented liberalization reform policies in many developing countries since the late eighties. However, studies applying appropriate methodology to appropriate data seldom analyze the impact of reforms on the performance of production units such as manufacturing firms. The central point of this book is to address this issue by comparing firms’ achievement with 'best practice' performance before and after reforms. This form of analysis is not new but it emphasizes a new focus or realignment of thinking within neoclassical economics to develop an analytical framework. This book examines the productivity growth of Bangladesh manufacturing firms as component measures of changes in capacity realization and technical progress. The significant feature of this approach is that it allows for the inefficiency of firms, and thus productivity growth is estimated rather than taking it as a residual as is usually measured in the traditional growth accounting approach. High rates of technological progress, on the one hand, can co-exist with low rates of capacity realization. On the other hand, relatively low rates of technological progress can co-exist with an improving capacity realization. As a result specific policy actions are required to address the difference in the sources of variation in productivity. In this respect this book would provide invaluable insights for policy makers, development practitioners, academics and students of economics.
Children's Agency and Development in African Societies by Ofosu-Kus, Yaw Pdf
This book focuses on African childhood and youth within the context of development and socialization where children are expected to be moulded in the image of adults. In many African societies children are generally held as passive bearers of the demands of adults, regardless of the fact that they are often exposed to a multitude of challenges that originate from the capriciousness of those adults. However, buoyed by international conventions and national legislations that offer them greater protection, and the ubiquitous internet that exposes them to childhood and youth experiences elsewhere, many of them are increasingly becoming assertive in homes, schools, and communities as well as re-invigorating their survival and self-preservation instincts. It is in this regard that this book, through the various chapters, engages with their competencies, skills and creativity to respond to experiential challenges as independent migrants or ones under coercion working in city streets and markets or cocoa farms or juggling work and schooling in pursuit of some education. Confronted with their parents' and siblings' health predicaments and the inadequacies of state and familial care, or urgent negotiation of their sexualities, they demonstrate incredible resilience. Similarly, their perceptiveness is demonstrated in a unique appreciation of politics and its actors and a capacity to assume responsibilities beyond their chronological age. Thus while highlighting some of the challenges confronting African children, the book provides gripping evidence of how they resiliently negotiate those challenges.
