Development Geography is an informative and vibrant introductory level text, with a wealth of contrasting case-studies and illustrations. Written to stimulate critical thought and discussion about development, it does not assume any clear-cut distinction between developed and developing parts of the world. Case-studies highlight the problems and possible solutions at local, national and international scales. These include:

• food production in Senegal
• Disney in China
• Hurricane Mitch in Honduras
• corruption in Bulgaria
• further studies from Russia, Bangladesh and Vietnam.

Development Geography is the fifth book to be published in the popular modular text series Routledge Contemporary Human Geography.
