The global north-south atlas : mapping global change
\"This innovative atlas deconstructs the contemporary image of the North-South divide and advocates the need for the international community to redraw the global map, as the contemporary world map with the 1980 Brandt Line drawing a stark divide between developed and underdeveloped countries no longer serves its purpose in the twenty-first century. Throughout the book a range of colourful maps and charts graphically demonstrate the ways in which the world has changed over the last two thousand years. The atlas firstly analyses the genesis, nature and validity of the Brandt Line, before going on to discuss its validity through centuries, especially in 1980 and after, and finally demonstrating the many definitions and philosophies of development that exist or may exist, which make it difficult to define a single notion of a Global North and South. The book concludes by proposing a new schemes of division between developed and developing countries. This book will serve as a perfect textbook for students studying global divisions within geography, politics, economics, international relations, and development departments, as well as being a useful guide for researchers, and for those working in NGOs and government institutions\"-- Provided by publisher.
