Understanding World Order and Structural Change

"This book assesses world order and structural change, based on the empirical findings of the interaction of Pax Americana and the Bretton Woods system in the post-1945 period, and its impact on development in southern Africa. Through a conceptual and methodological framework the book identifies when, why and how historical opportunities for change emerge at various levels. It proposes an analytical model and provides the reader with tools for a multi-level analysis of the room for manoeuvre in times of structural transformations."--Jacket.
