Books by Daniel Little

This book provides a better understanding of some of the central puzzles of empirical political science: how does "government" express will and purpose?

In this book, Daniel Little dissects these paradoxes offering the clearest perspective on how best to approach international development. Using both empirical and philosophical approaches, Little provides a schematic acquaintance with the most important facts about global development at the turn of the twentieth century.

A study of the positions of various social scientists on debates in China studies, Little focuses on four topics: traditional peasant behaviour, the role of marketing and transport systems in Chinese society, the causes of agricultural stagnation and the reasons for the rebellion in Qing China.

This book combines insights developed by philosophers of the social sciences with the writings of historians to offer a unique perspective touching on a wide range of topics, from the French and Chinese revolutions to agriculture and the industrial age.
