Aid and Reform in Africa
Finally, when the country enters the second generation of reforms, such as public sector institutional reform, short-term, conditionality-based aid can once again be harmful - by reducing ownership, participation, and sustainability of the reform process."--BOOK JACKET.
Introduction to Computable General Equilibrium Models
This book provides an accessible, undergraduate-level introduction to computable general equilibrium (CGE) models, a class of model that has come to play an important role in government policy decisions. The book uses a graphical approach to explain the economic theory that underlies a CGE model, and provides results from simple, small-scale CGE models to illustrate the links between theory and model outcomes. The book includes eleven guided, hands-on exercises that introduce modeling techniques that are applied to real-world economic problems. Students will learn how to integrate their separate fields of economic study into a comprehensive, general equilibrium perspective as they develop their skills as producers or consumers of CGE-based analysis.
The New Development Economics
This volume provides a critique of the post-Washington Concensus in neoliberal economics.
Mathematical Economics

Aid Dependence Reconsidered

Party Politics and Economic Reform in Africa's Democracies
Argues that the interaction of formal institutions and the quality of democracy explain patterns of private sector development across Africa.
Workers' Rights
Editor Noah Berlatsky has compiled several compelling essays relating to workers' rights. Readers will examine labor regulations worldwide, in countries such as Brazil, India, Greece, and the United States. Topics covered include unions and collective bargaining, issues related to workplace discrimination in selected countries and regions such as Asia and Nigeria, and the use of migrant and slave labor.
Applied General Equilibrium and Economic Development
"Traditional tools of analysis that focus on particular commodities or sectors, a particular time frame, and aggregate diverse socioeconomic groups are ill-suited to analyze the consequences of the economic reforms of the last ten years. This volume shows the greater power and relevance of applied general equilibrium methods." "Through discussion of several major policy issues - agricultural and food policy, economies of scale in production and the associated market imperfections, macrostabilization programs, and modeling intertemporal tradeoffs - the contributors present work representative of the major trends in applied general equilibrium modeling of developing-country issues. Policy analysis using a rich variety of static, recursive, and intertemporal dynamic models is illustrated with problems from a number of developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The countries studied range widely in their institutional features, stages of development, and economic size."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Decentralised Governance
For developing countries, decentralising power from central government to local authorities holds the promise of deepening democracy, empowering citizens, improving public services and boosting economic growth. But the evidence on when and how decentralisation can bring these benefits has been mixed. Under the wrong conditions, decentralised power can be captured by unrepresentative elites or undermined by corruption and the clientelistic distribution of public resources. The picture is complex, and we still do not understand enough about what factors can contribute to creating better local government, and to what effect. Decentralised Governance brings together a new generation of political...
