Henry Veltmeyer is Professor of Sociology at Saint Mary's University, Canada, and Professor of Development Studies at Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas, Mexico.

This book analyses the progress and failures of development against the backdrop of an increasingly globalised and neoliberal world economy. Eminent Development experts examine various critical factors of the development process, including the financial crisis of 2008, development theory, the regional dynamics of globalization, and the role of technology transfer and information.
