Jones does it again!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Wise-cracking political scientist DMJ has done it again with this lucid account of political development in Pacific Asia. Never afraid to challenge the scholarly establishment, Jones delinks development and democratization in a stunning, revisionist chapter on the dependent nature of the Pacific Asian Noveaux Riches.A seminal volume, essential reading for anyone serious about Asia. Only one thing - Jones should give up wearing white golf suits!
