Reviews
"The contributions in Comparative National Development weave together theoretical arguments, historical considerations, and empirical material into a coherent, sophisticated volume."--Contemporary Sociology
"Portes and Kincaid have taken us beyond the exhausted paradigms of dependency and world-system analysis and shown us through these essays that the field of development studies has many new horizons. The volume is a must read for any serious social scientist who wants to be informed of the latest advances in the field."--Mitchell A. Seligson, University of Pittsburgh
