Biography
Isaac Zvi Christiansen is an associate professor in Midwestern State University’s Department of Sociology, in Wichita Falls, Texas. He conducts research on health inequalities, sociology of development, and other issues related to Marxist political economy and sociology. As a Marxist sociologist, he is very interested in studying socialist development models, the generation of economic crises under capitalism, and imperialism. His work has been published in World Review of Political Economy, International Critical Thought, The International Journal of Cuban Studies, and The Journal of Critical Thought and Praxis.
“This book is a useful overview of topical questions in world politics from a social and political point of view. It is appropriate for undergraduate courses and particularly for introduction to politics, sociology, and area studies. This is an outstanding and very timely book with the promise of a long shelf life.”
David Lane, Professor of Sociology, Cambridge University
