I like it because it has a strong narrative and is readable rather than trying to be a comprehensive textbook. It works best for upper-level students and even then you have to spend a bit of time covering concepts, but the students seem to get more out of it because most of the material is wellcontextualized and emphasizes a few critical themes. Easy to combine with other materials., This book has a strong theoretical basis. It is focused on the developing world, so if you intend for the focus of your class to be international, it would be an excellent book to use., This text would be useful for a Social Change class. McMichael does a brilliant job of explaining to students how the modern world system changed during the 20th and 21st centuries. He provides a conceptual architecture to understand those changes, and he also provides empirical examples to illustrate concretely how social change in the world system happens., "This book has a strong theoretical basis.

Synopsis
Development and Social Change: A Global Perspective explains how development thinking and practice have shaped our world. It introduces students to four interconnected projects, and how their dynamics, contradictions and controversies have influenced development trajectories: colonialism, the development era, the neoliberal globalization project, and sustainable development. Authors Philip McMichael and Heloise Weber use case studies and examples to help describe a complex world in transition. Students are encouraged to see global development as a contested historical project. By showing how development stems from unequal power relationships between and among peoples and states, often with planet-threatening environmental outcomes, it enables readers to reflect on the possibilities for more just social, ecological and political relations., Development and Social Change: A Global Perspective describes the dramatic acceleration of the global and political economy in four parts: colonialism, the development era, the current era of globalization, and global counter-movements for equity and sustainability., Development and Social Change: A Global Perspectivedescribes the dramatic acceleration of the global and political economy in four parts: colonialism, the development era, the current era of globalization, and global counter-movements for equity and sustainability.
