Beskrivning

Africa faces several major development challenges that have adversely affected the political and material well being of the majority of the people living there.This collection of new essays rigorously analyzes those frontier development issues--including democracy, leadership, the economy, poverty alleviation through microfinance schemes, food security, education, health and political instability--and offers prescriptions that differ from the dominant neoliberal solutions.
