About the Author:
Ozay Mehmet is Professor of International Affairs at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada.
Review:
"A useful addition to the literature, this volume is recommended for all students, researchers, and practitioners of developmental economics."
-"Choice
"This book uses a very impressive list of research by major development economists to show that economic development efforts in Third World countries...have failed because economic development was and is still based on Western theories and prescriptions with unrealistic assumptions and startling contradictions.... The book skillfully dissects mainstream economic theory and presents a very compelling argument for the failure of economic development strategies in Third World countries. The research presented in this book is most comprehensive, practical and current."
