Synopses & Reviews
The demise of the Cold War and the spread of globalization seemed to end the era of solidarity politics pursued by the developing world, or the "South." This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the changing dynamics of the South and its relationship to the issues, content and structure of the evolving international system.
Synopsis
The South in World Politics is a timely analysis of the influence and effectiveness of developing states in shaping the international order from the politics of the Cold War and North-South confrontation to the contemporary challenges of globalization and the rising power of emerging economies.
