The authors offer an innovative blend of theory and empirical material as they introduce the politics of what was once called the "third world." They consistently link theoretical concepts to a set of eight contemporary case studies: China, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, and Zimbabwe. Features of the fourth edition, revised and updated from cover to cover, include: • An entirely new case study, Egypt. • Analysis of the status of regime transitions around the world. • A "report card" on the Millennium Development Goals. • Attention to the UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development and the New Development Bank. •More discussion of contentious politics, social mobilization, and everyday forms of resistance. • New material on such continuing challenges as migration, human trafficking, weapons proliferation, pandemic diseases, and the impact of climate change. The result is a text that has been successfully designed to challenge students' preconceptions, arouse their curiosity, and foster critical thinking."
