Learning from the Japanese: Japan's Pre-war Development and the Third World
With the collapse of the Soviet economy in the early 1990s, Japan has become the major non-Western model for late developing countries. This book looks at Japan's early economic modernisation to see if today's low-income countries can learn any lessons
Economic Development, Inequality and War
Recently the media have focused on the threat that insurgents in failed states with weapons of mass destruction pose to wealthy nations of the West—the United States, Canada, and the countries of Europe. Scholars predict that a clash between the West and Islam is inevitable. Amid this peril, we should not forget that war, state violence, and rebel resistance threaten the livelihood and the very lives of millions of the poor in Africa and Asia. Ab…
Meiji Japan as a Model for Africa's Economic Development
This paper examines the major ways in which the economic development model of Meiji Japan, 1868-1912, applies to contemporary Africa. The focus is on capital formation and technology policies that contributed to Meiji Japan's rapid industrial capitalist growth: self-directed strategies, technological borrowing, taking advantage of shifts in comparative advantage from the product cycle, educational policy, business assistance, financial institutio…

War, Hunger, and Displacement: Volume 2
Since the end of the Cold War, the number of civil wars in developing countries has escalated to the point where they are the most significant source of human suffering in the world today. Although there are many political analyses of these emergencies, this two-volume work is the first comprehensive study of the economic, social, and political roots of humanitarian emergencies, identifying early measures to prevent such disasters. The authors dr…

The Sources of Humanitarian Emergencies
This study identifies the sources of humanitarian emergencies characterized by warfare, displacement, hunger, and disease. The authors emphasize that economic variables often become salient through relative deprivation. Their econometric analysis indicates that stagnation and decline in real GDP, a high ratio of military expenditures to national income, a tradition of violent conflict, high income inequality, and slow growth in average food produ…

Japan’s Industrial Development, 1868-1939: Lessons for Sub-Saharan Africa
Japan, whose 1868 level of economic development was only slightly more than other Afro-Asian countries, has had the world's fastest growth in real GNP per capita since then (Nafziger, 1990, pp. 46–7), or second fastest to Sweden if computed through the early 1950s. Africa and Asia are 'looking East' to learn development lessons from the major non-Western industrialized country, Japan. With recent US slow growth, 'modernization' theorists have emp…

Inequality in Africa: Political Elites, Proletariat, Peasants and the Poor
Structural Adjustment, Human Needs, and the World Bank Agenda
The economic crisis of the 1970s in sub-Saharan Africa led to a critical evaluation of the rôle of government policies by international agencies, including two contrasting views of the problem by the Economic Commission for Africa/Organisation of African Unity and the World Bank. The E.C.A./O.A.U. largely placed the blame on the deteriorating external environment, emphasising the reduction of income inequality, poverty, and unemployment through a…

The Economic Impact of the Nigerian Civil War
Few events alter the socio-economic structure of a country as radically as the convulsions and displacements concomitant with war and political upheaval. In Nigeria the two coups d'état of 1966 and the civil war of 1967-1970 have had a profound effect on economic activity, and in turn have been affected by economic variables. In this study the political variable will generally be treated as independent and the economic variable as dependent, desp…

Class, caste and community of South Indian industrialists: An examination of the Horatio Alger Model
Development economists have been preoccupied with the problem of increasing the size of the GNP pie to the relative neglect of the distribution of this pie. Despite the recent disenchantment with the viewpoint that all classes share in the benefits of industrial growth, empirical data on the distribution of income, business opportunity, and economic power are in short supply. This study, which focuses on the origins of manufacturing entrepreneurs…
A critique of development economics in the U.S
Authors of leading U.S. textbooks in development economics are criticised for their inaccurate and insufficient socio‐political analysis, ethnocentric approach to U.S. international involvement, lack of consideration of dominance and subordination within the international economic system (together with an under‐emphasis on the costs of foreign trade, aid and investment in LDCs), fallacious concept of ‘traditional’ society and economy, and inadequ…
