    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.

    1: Approaches to Development; 2: Population and Development; 3: Culture and Development; 4: Rural-agricultural and Development; 5: Urban-industrial Development; 6: The State Context: China and Brazil; 7: Regional Groupings, Trade and Aid; 8: Globalization.
