Summary: Social Change and Development is a text designed to introduce undergraduates to the study of social theory, social change and Third World development. The author compares the strengths and weaknesses of the modernization, the dependency and the world system schools of research which have dominated development studies for four decades. The book is divided into three parts, which examine: classical and contemporary theories of social change; dependency theory; the world-system perspective and Third World industrialization. A number of books on Third World development have been published, but this book will be the only study to address the research implications of the three development theories in a comprehensive fashion and should be an essential course book for any student of development studies.
