Reasons for sub-Saharan Africa’s development deficit that the commission for Africa did not consider
Despite a substantial amount of aid (much larger in per capita terms than provided to any other region), sub-Saharan African countries, with very few exceptions, have regressed since independence. The general history of Africa since achieving independence has been one of development failure. Some protagonists point to signs of change that argue for more aid. This article suggests that aid to Africa has not worked because human, social and institu…

Its performance is less remarkable, however, if it is compared with that of other island city-states lik…

What a regional approach can make possible is illustrated through an examination of the electricity power, transpor…

Privatization emerged in the 1980s as a component of structural adjustment policies and was viewed as a cure-all for the ills of the public sector. This book, through case studies in seven countries, shows how the structure of developing economies can even reverse the sought after benefits of privatization
