Title: The Diversity of development
Description: "Development processes are continually linked to such issues as environment, gender, democracy and institutional change. However, since the mid-eighties economic structures, levels of poverty and rates of population growth within the developing world have become increasingly diverse. Simultaneously international relations have been intensified in the economic sphere, as well as in communication, culture, tourism and migration." "It is against this background that The Diversity of Development should be read. The authors discuss trends in the human geography of developing regions and in related disciplines. Attention is paid to new perspectives on traditional developmental issues and to relatively new themes. Wherever possible the authors refer to the publications of Jan Kleinpenning to whom this book is a tribute."--Jacket.
