Development and Underdevelopment: The History, Economics and Politics of North-South Relations

by Hartmut Elsenhans

This volume takes a conceptual approach to studying the complex political and economic relationship between the advanced industrial countries of the North and the developing, largely agrarian, countries of the South. The author has studied the North-South relationship from the standpoint of political economy, and has succeeded in analyzing the dynamics of the relationship, the relative power balance between the countries of North and South and the extent of their mutual dependence and interdependence.
