Global Poverty, Democracy and North-South Change

Democracy as a process of change is led increasingly by movements in the so-called "southern" countries. People's groups that are not part of the alliance of richer, industrialized states are seeking social justice that can benefit the excluded and less powerful from both the north and south. Steven Langdon here addresses major questions about global poverty, the political forces surrounding it, and the efforts to eliminate it. Written for students, teachers, government officials and NGO workers in development and Third World areas, the work presents a uniquely Canadian perspective and analysis of north/south issues.
