ABSTRACT
The majority of this book has dealt with the differing definitions of ‘development’ and the theorizations of why ‘development’ has or has not taken place with the nation-state as the main unit of analysis. In Chapter 4 the focus was more on sub-national levels, with an examination of what have been termed ‘grassroots’ approaches and in Chapter 5 different groupings within society were examined. In this chapter we look at the global scale; in particular, the development implications of processes that have been put under the heading of ‘globalization’.
