Books by Christopher Clapham

An introductory textbook on the politics of Third World Countries, this book draws on examples from Latin America, Africa and Asia to analyse their role in the global political economy.

This pioneering study was first published in 1988. It examines the effects of revolution on one of Africa's largest states. Christopher Clapham traces the continuities between revolutionary Ethiopia and the development of a centralised Ethiopian state since the nineteenth century, emphasising the institutionalisation of the revolutionary regime since 1978.
