Features: This book provides an in-depth discussion on the political and economic development paths of regions that are generally considered "non-Western," such as East Asia, South Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Russia. It attempts to answer a series of important questions: How do Western development models interact with local factors, and what are the current and future dynamics of their collision or integration? What impact has the end of the Cold War and the tenets of neoliberalism had on these regions? And more.
