Overview
This comparative study of development strategies in Egypt and Mexico in the twentieth century sheds light on two major questions: what is 'development' in the Third World? and what does the pursuit of development actually mean for contemporary Third World states? It addresses these issues by looking closely at the experiences that in this century led Egypt and Mexico to embark on their current strategies of 'development through liberalization.' The nineteen essays by prominent Egyptian, Mexican, and American scholars cover the historical background of development in the two countries, then examine a wide range of subjects: agriculture and industry, private and public economic sectors, planning and bureaucratization of the state, political participation, external factors, population and urbanization, the role of women, and culture and political development.Book Details
