New Internationalist is an ongoing education and a monthly reminder of our common humanity. A wonderful readable guide to the social and political forces that shape our world...With its hard-hitting coverage of world affairs, evocative first-person essays, sweeping exposes of such topics as land mines and the geopolitics of blue jeans, the New Internationalist offers a consistently unique and important perspective on global culture.

The editors of Utne Reader - when announcing the New Internationalist as the winner of the General Excellence Award for magazines with a circulation over 50,000 - global Independent Press Awards - 1998.

I wouldn't wipe my arse with the New Internationalist. Absorbing is one thing. Absorbent is another.

Julian Morrow - The Chaser

The Independent Press Awards are selected by the editors of Utne Reader magazine to 'honour independent efforts that provide bold, innovative, thought-provoking alternatives to mass media fare.' The New Internationalist magazine won the inaugural 1989 award for International Coverage.
Since then, the magazine has won the award for 'Best International Coverage' another seven times. In the year 2000 the New Internationalist also won the highly valued readers' poll.

Utne Reader - global Independent Press Awards.

The New Internationalist magazine is the most brilliant advocate on behalf of the developing world. It’s a source of information; it’s a source of reassurance on ideas; and it has an enormous integrity.

World development is an increasingly important aspect of studies in Geography and growing numbers of students are taking it as a course in its own right. There is, however, no standalone core textbook offering an introduction to all the key issues in World Development - this book fills that void and will be invaluable to all Geography teachers.

Attractively and colourfully designed, the book benefits from the long experience of New Internationalist magazine - a regular and invaluable resource for Geography teachers for three decades - in making complex world issues easily understood, using clear and colourful charts and graphs.

The book functions as a core textbook introducing the key topics, but each chapter also includes case studies, supplemented by updated case studies on this web page.
