  • ""The period since the publication of the third edition of The Process of Economic Development has been a time of immense change in the developing world. China, India and Brazil have enjoyed a period of huge economic growth while smaller countries such as Vietnam and Angola have also been subject to striking transformation. Environmental issues such as climate change have also had a huge impact, while issues of security in the Middle East and elsewhere have underlined the importance of natural resources and the ongoing forces of globalization. The fourth edition of this popular textbook has been updated to reflect the new challenges faced by developing countries across Asia, Latin America and Africa, while retaining its ever important emphasis on institutions, the importance of technology and the influence of global finance and business"--"

  • ""The fourth edition of The Process of Economic Development offers a thorough and up-to-date treatment of development economics. This landmark text will continue to be an invaluable resource for students, teachers and researchers in the fields of development economics and development studies. The new edition has been revised and updated throughout, reflecting the most recent developments in research and incorporating the latest empirical data, as well as key theoretical advances. The period since the publication of the third edition of The Process of Economic Development has been a time of immense change in the developing world. The period has seen huge economic growth in China, economic restructuring in India and the continuing impact of environmental issues such as climate change. The fourth edition reflects these developments, as well as including new material on the following: - transnational corporations - perspectives on structural change - gender and development - progress towards the Millennium Development Goals - aid and the least developed nations - the post debt crisis era and debt relief for Africa. Cypher's text remains the development economics text par excellence, as it takes a much more practical, hands-on view of the issues facing developing countries than other, overly mathematical texts. This book is unique in its scope and in the detailed attention it gives to the historical contexts that have influenced progress toward development. It is accessibly written both for students of economics and for those with an interest in the many aspects of development studies"--"@en

  • "The third edition of "The Process of Economic Development" offers a thorough and up-to-date presentation of development economics. This landmark text will continue to be an invaluable resource for students, teachers and researchers in the fields of development economics and development studies. Much has happened in the developing world since the appearance of the second edition in 2002. The period has seen remarkable growth rates in countries such as China and India, the accession of a number of post-communist economies to the European Union, financial crisis in Argentina and continuing desperate poverty in many African countries.This third edition reflects these developments and includes new material on the following: national systems of innovation including information technology in India, the ongoing impact of globalization and the continuing programmes of foreign aid across all developing countries. Cypher and Dietz's text is the development economics text par excellence as it takes a much more practical, hands-on view of the issues facing developing countries than its overly mathematical rivals. It will appeal to all those studying this important subject area."@en

  • "Giving a uniquely balanced world picture, this book is an accessible and student friendly guide to development economics. Ideal for the student, it contains plentiful diagrams, boxed and end of chapter summaries."@en
  • "The Process of Economic Development is a textbook with a story to tell. It discusses development from the colonial era to the present in Latin America, Asia and Africa. Encompassing a blend of classical development ideas and current theory, the book helps students gain the type of balanced picture disallowed them by other textbooks. A close examination of recent events is integral to the book, with discussions ranging from the environment to the debt crisis, and from export-led industrialization to import substitution, endogenous growth theory and technological capability. Throughout, the authors focus on income distribution, poverty, and social issues and the book has an readable style and format. Plentiful diagrams, boxes and user-friendly summaries, and end of chapter questions help the reader to grasp many-faceted topics. Building upon the impressive and popular first edition, Cypher and Dietz have pulled off that rarity in textbook publishing: a book which will leave students with a framework of understanding which will empower them to go on to understand a broad range of "North-South" issues and controversies."
