Comparative Development Experiences of Sub-Saharan Africa and East Asia: An Institutional Approach

Fourteen contributions from international scholars and practitioners compare the development experiences of sub-Saharan Africa and East Asia. Emphasizing the institutional contexts in which policies are implemented, the authors seek to uncover the reasons behind the divergent development experiences of the two regions. The essays are arranged into sections on macroeconomic management; trade, industry, and technology; financial policies and development; and rural development, income distribution, and poverty. The editors are with the African Economic Research Consortium in Nairobi. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
