内容説明

This revised and updated second edition provides more than a collection of maps. It explores alternative ways of defining and mapping "Third World" and "development". It offers both historical and contemporary contexts discussing, for instance, Europe's colonization of Asia, Africa and Latin America and current issues such as environment degradation, famine, migration and gender. The text examines three main questions: What is the Third World? How was it "made"? What changes are taking place in the Third World today? More generally, the atlas presents a variety of perspectives and explores how data can be presented and interpreted, and how much reliance we can place upon it. Students of geography, sociology, politics and international history, as well as development specialists, should find this guide useful.
