The Politics of the Developing Areas

ISBN: 9780691621012 出版年：2015 页码：608 Princeton University Press

A pioneering venture, this book is the first major effort toward a valid comparison of the political systems of asia, africa, the near east, and latin america. After establishing a theoretical framework based on a functional approach to comparative politics, the authors apply their scheme to southeast asia (lucian w. Pye), south asia (myron weiner), subsaharan africa (james s. Coleman), the near east (dankwart rustow), and latin america (george i. Blanksten). In each area they survey the political background, the nature and function of political, governmental, and authoritative structures, the processes of change and means of political integration.
