The economic upturn and performance of Mauritius is a far cry from predictions made in the 1960s. The island’s remarkable economic performance since the 1980s can been attributed to a multitude of factors instrumental to the success of the economy, including structural reforms, outward looking export orientated strategies, diversification in the manufacturing, tourism and financial services sectors amongst others, sound economic governance and institutions, and significant investment in human capital. This book attempts to provide a detailed analysis of the various key ingredients which have helped to propel Mauritius to its current status. The various chapters provide important readings for both academics and policymakers, with the final chapter providing key policy strategies which the government needs to implement to help Mauritius graduate to the next level of development: namely to that of a high-income economy and, in moving out of the middle-income trap, laying the foundations for future growth and shared prosperity in the light of both domestic challenges and global constraints.

Tourism has huge significance as a global economic and social phenomenon, and given the growing reliance on the industry by service-dependent economies around the world, the lack of focus on tourism planning and development in South Asia is surprising. Current issues including social, environmental and cultural aspects underpinned by security challenges have defined the tourism development narratives in many South Asian countries over the last decades and lead to fluid demand and supply patterns. The appetite for and reliance on tourism growth is seen regardless of the numerous challenges faced by the region. Despite a rich and steady history of tourism and demand driven by numerous pull-destinations, most South Asian countries have not invested or benefitted from global tourism growth trends. This book discusses tourism planning and development in South Asian countries and reveals successful and unsuccessful stories by: providing thorough analyses of the nature and focus on tourism development in South Asia; analysing the experiences and challenges addressed via country-focused chapters; identifying the key impacts and current challenges; including cases from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka and more. Written by scholars with extensive research experience on tourism in these countries, this book is a much-needed resource and an invaluable reference for researchers, policy makers and other tourism stakeholders involved in tourism planning and development.

This contributed volume takes a country-driven assessment of efforts to implement the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). AfCFTA is, arguably, the most prominent attempt to galvanize the continent into political and economic integration in its history. The AfCFTA promises to be the largest free trade area in the world based on the number of participating countries, and forecasts of its impact demonstrate that AfCFTA is potentially the most powerful instrument to significantly alter the socio-politico and economic status of Africa as a whole and place the continent on the power map of the world. In spite of this laudable and promising opportunity for African growth, the implementation of the AfCFTA has been slow as of this book’s writing. It is important to undertake a comprehensive review of the implementation of the AfCFTA, in order to appraise the prevailing teething problems experienced across selected countries. Although the AfCFTA remains a continental initiative, the speed, political will, and achievements of the implementation process is largely country-driven. The country-specific review of the implementation processes of the AfCFTA presented in this book highlights context-specific dynamics, identifying best practices, understanding implementation challenges, tailoring support mechanisms, and facilitating peer learning amongst implementing countries. The book assembles international trade research experts principally from research chairs from across the continent to analyses country-specific experiences, challenges, and successes of the implementation of the AfCFTA. The book is written by seasoned African researchers/academics, primarily from foremost universities of the respective countries under consideration, for the benefit of Africa.

Digital trade, encompassing the exchange of goods, services, and information through digital channels, is viewed as a catalyst for innovation and inclusive economic development. Though, the share of African trade in global digital trade appears to be on the low side, the growth in digitally delivered services is recently growing fast relative to trade in goods and non-digitally delivered services. Digital trade represents an important engine of growth and development for the African continent. This contributed volume is motivated by a shared perspective that digital trade can offer significant opportunities for African countries to boost growth, create better jobs, and reduce poverty. The book first distinguishes itself by providing an in-depth and comprehensive examination of the complex dynamics of digital trade in Africa, setting itself apart by probing into the driving forces propelling its growth along with the obstacles that limit the expansion of digital trade in the region. Second this book innovates by linking regional integration efforts in Africa to digital trade. It focuses on how collective efforts within different regional groups across the continent can be harnessed to boost digital trade in Africa.Third, one of the key differentiators of the book lies in its thorough analysis of the regulatory frameworks governing digital trade across African nations. The existing policies and regulatory challenges are discussed across specific countries and group of countries. Lastly, the book links digital trade to the broader socio-economic environment by exploring the nexus between digital trade and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Africa. By aligning the principles of digital trade with specific SDGs ranging from poverty alleviation and quality education to gender equality and industry innovation, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of how digital trade can be harnessed as a tool for sustainable development across the African continent. It systematically examines how digital trade can be a driving force in achieving these global sustainability benchmarks.
