| Summary |
This volume presents a global sample of country cases of successful development strategies, and seeks to delineate the root causes of success : initial conditions, local and international factors, relative contributions by domestic and external agents, as well as the prognosis of challenges for the future |
|
This book presents development strategies and lessons based on a large range of 'success' countries across the developing world. In addition to the country cases, it presents regional and overall syntheses that cover orthodox vs. heterodox policies ; the importance of capability, primary exports, diversification and financing ; managing diversity ; the role of institutions and governance ; and human development. The book reveals much diversity in successful development strategies offered by the various select countries : for example, the 'disinterested-government' political economy of China ; the democratically supported, high-service-sector development approach of India ; the 'Washington-Consensus-based' reforms of Ghana and China ; the diversification strategies of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain and Oman ; the dynamic orthodox-heterodox strategy of Malaysia and Vietnam ; the effective natural-resource management of Botswana, Oman, Bahrain and the UAE ; the social-sector underpinnings of development in Costa Rica and Tunisia ; and the democratic political system of managing diversity in India. This refreshing approach to studying development will interest researchers, teachers, students, development practitioners and policymakers alike |
