| Description: | This book seeks to identfy, in an international perspectie, what has, and has not, worked in structural adjustment programmes in Africa, to explain key weaknesses, and to put forward feasible alternatives. It rejects both pessimism over Africa's future as well as excessive hype the power and potential of foreign direct investment as a n agent of change. It argues for policies which stimulate private domestic investment and link it to export expansion and upgrading, and for a supportive international environment which includes debt relief, improved development assistance and better market access. A sound, balanced and hopeful analysis of Africa's economic future. . .Essential reading for Africa's policy-makers.' Professor Gerry Helleiner, Professor Emeritus, Department of Economics, University of Toronto 'This book is an important contribution to the essential task of setting the record straight. It is recommended reading for both policy makers and scholars seeking to promote sustainable economic development on the continent.' Thandika Mkandawire, Director of UNRISD, former Executive Secretary of CODESIRA |
