Rezensionen

"The volume is much needed for those interested in the geographies and economies of global economic development." - Geographical Education, Professor Stanley D. Brunn, University of Kentucky

"It provides much space for relevant concepts and views barely present in international literature on the topic. It can serve as a useful tool in university teaching in all subjects related to these problems. It can help students understand how we regionalise the world, why we are doing it the way we are, why we use these labels, and how these concepts are related to development theories. With the multilingual and multidisciplinary bibliography one can find the most important and relevant sources on global development and spatial terminology. Students and teachers in the fields of geography, development studies, politics or history can be the main public of this book, but with its easily comprehensible content and readability it is off ered for everyone interested in these issues." - Máté Farkas, Hungarian Geographical Bulletin 65 (2016) (2) 203-205.
