The political economy of economic growth in Africa, 1960-2000 (2 volumes and 1 accompanying CD-ROM)

The period from 1960 to 2000 was one of remarkable growth and transformation in the world economy. Why did most of Sub-Saharan Africa fail to develop over this period? Why did a few small African economies succeed spectacularly? This book is a comprehensive assessment of Africa's post-independence economic performance. Vol.1 examines the impact of resource wealth and geographical remoteness on Africa's growth and develops a new dataset of governance regimes covering all of Sub-Saharan Africa. Dominant patterns of governance observed over the period and their impact on growth are analyzed, the ideological formation of the political elite, the roots of political violence and reform, and the lessons of the 1960û2000 period for contemporary growth strategy are presented. Vol.2 and a CD-ROM contain 26 case studies of African economies.
