Edited by Amitava Krishna Dutt, Department of Political Science, University of Notre Dame, US and the late Jaime Ros, former Professor, Department of Economics and Policy Studies, and Faculty Fellow, Kellogg Institute for International Studies, University of Notre Dame, US

'The essays are concise, yet comprehensive, and each essay contains a substantial set of references, which an interested researcher or student could follow up. . . In addition to representing multidisciplinary interactions, this collection encompasses several different perspectives within development economics, so the reader can learn, for example, both about neoclassical approaches and dependency theories in the same volume. This makes the collection unique and all the more valuable. . . This is a very good reference collection, as the individual essays are informative and provide a good overall perspective on the topic that they set out to address. The extensive bibliography at the end of each essay adds further value to this collection.'
