N2  - "In the sixth edition of Promises Not Kept John Isbister updates his study of the dilemmas of international poverty and the Third World by bringing in a discussion of the effects of the war on terrorism and the 'new American hegemony, ' and surveys the prospects for justice in a world of globalization. Isbister's comprehensively updated facts and figures, clear and forceful exposition of current concerns, and broad survey of the history of the linkages of the developed and developing worlds, will make this a popular update to a widely-used introductory text."--Jacket
