Book Synopsis Beyond Structural Adjustment by : Nicolas Van de Walle
Download or read book Beyond Structural Adjustment written by Nicolas Van de Walle. This book was released on 2006-08-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the World Bank famously put it back in 1989, 'underlying the litany of Africa's development problems is a crisis of governance.' This is a collection of authoritative essays bringing together prominent Africanists in political science and public administration to look at the role of governance in African development. The goal of the book is to move beyond the status quo debates about 'structural adjustment' and to look at all the public and civic institutions which are likely to play a critical role if Africa is to overcome its economic crisis.
