From the Local to the Global: Key Issues in Development Studies, 3rd Edition Edited by Gerard McCann and Stephen McCloskey ISBN: 978 0 7453 34738; Pluto Press; May 2015; Paperback; 352 pages

From the Local to the Global is an ideal companion for anyone interested in the key issues that shape international development. This comprehensive, accessibly written text brings together some of the foremost activists, academics and development practitioners from across the world to analyse the challenges to poverty eradication and human rights. This completely revised third edition of From the Local to the Global highlights the extent to which the local and global are interconnected in today’s globalised economy and questions the legitimacy of the neoliberal model of development. It is an indispensible introduction to key issues such as aid, debt, trade migration, security, gender and climate change. “An ideal lift-off point for anyone interested in the issues that underpin poverty and injustice at local and global levels. It combines accessible writing on essential international development issues with a call for action.” Marina Sitrin (author of Everyday Revolutions, 2012) “This is of global value to a radically changing world. It is essentially a survey of all the issues that affect the global South and shape the global North.” Hector Maldonado Felix, Universidad National Mayor de San Marcos, Peru
