Books by R. Kiely

The author examines the rise of the BRICs and the supposed decline of the United States. Focusing on the boom years from 1992 to 2007, and the crisis years after 2008, he argues that there are limits to the rise of the former and that the extent of US decline has been greatly exaggerated.

This major new text analyses changes and continuities in the current international order and their implications for understanding international development in the 21st century. The author assesses the extent and impact of globalization, the emergence of a more aggressive stance by the U.S. and the debates to which they have given rise.

The authors describe evaluation as a way of understanding and developing language programs: the thematic and background section sets out the decision-making, quality management, and learning functions of evaluation.
