One of the many valuable books in the Current Controversies series, Developing Nations has a chapter on poverty, hunger, malnutrition, lack of health funding, air and water pollution, the global water crisis, government corruption and population growth as problems facing developing nations. Chapters give the divergent opinions on whether globalization will help developing nations as well as whether democracy can succeed in developing nations. Chapter four questions how industrialized nations will aid the developing world. Explored are foreign aid, cancelling debts, agricultural trade reform, and a good in-depth viewpoint on government corruption which cites examples and describes the results of corruption. A great book with many uses in student research and includes Organizations to Contact, a bibliography and index.
