This volume provides an accessible and up-to-date account of the difficulties that the Zimbabwean economy and its population experienced during the crisis which peaked in 2008. It details the suffering and chaos that befell the country with dramatic socio-economic consequences on growth, macroeconomic stability, service delivery, livelihoods, and development. The volume seeks to provide a political economy analysis of leadership and economic management in developing economies based on Zimbabwe's experience. It examines the triggers of the crisis, and the negative impact on productive sectors such as manufacturing and agriculture, social sectors such as education and health, and on financial services. The volume will be of interest to students of policy and economic management, as well as to government departments, central banks in developing countries, development agencies, donors, and NGOs.

Debates on African development continue to downplay the achievement of the continent: economic achievements are diminished and the perception of a conflict prone continent continues. Many of the policy prescriptions externally imposed on African countries have done little to transform the continent largely because they have been conceived and applied without context.Using literature from diverse origins, this book expands our knowledge about Africa and makes practical suggestions as to how successful development in a complex, yet dynamic continent can be achieved. Widening the policy dialogue and providing alternative thinking on the key elements and full extent of opportunities and challenges towards achieving the socio-economic transformation of Africa, the book moves the debate from the rhetoric to reality. As a considered reflection on the ‘Africa’s transformation’ narrative, it outlines the practical pathways necessary for Africa’s sustainable development, providing policy makers and researchers with tested solutions. It will be of interest to all scholars, students and policy professionals working in African development, public policy, international political economy, economic policy and politics.

This perceptive book challenges orthodox and neoliberal approaches to economics, emphasizing the importance of institutions in shaping socio-economic outcomes. George Kararach underscores the need to rethink dominant paradigms in the field of economics and enhance its relevance to public policy.Exploring the societal impact of economics, Kararach sheds light on the limitations of neoliberalism and examines the effects of ethics on the evolution of alternative economic perspectives and policies. Chapters draw on detailed global case studies to present alternative proposals for a humane economy that promotes social inclusion, grounds economic theory in the social context, and integrates perspectives from the Global South. Considering how the economy can better serve society, Kararach applies heterodox methods to practical policy issues, highlighting the influence of institutional differences alongside powerful interest groups.Interdisciplinary in scope, this book is a valuable resource for students and academics in economics, development studies, public policy, governance, philosophy and political science. Its insights will also greatly benefit policymakers and practitioners working in multilateral institutions, NGOs, UN agencies, and regional economic organizations.

Since 2000, countries across Africa have maintained over a decade of unprecedented economic expansion in a phenomena known as ‘Africa rising’. However, despite pockets of strong economic growth, Africa still faces major development challenges. In this important book the contributors argue that Africa as a continent must work on securing social and political stability and build effective economic governance to ensure the development of a society that is socially, economically and politically inclusive. Looking beyond the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) the contributors highlight what they consider to be the 12 major public policy conversations of the continent post-2015, from the legacy of African leadership, to the ‘youth bulge’ (and resulting unemployment) and climate change. The volume presents policy makers, academics and students with a chance to take a fresh look at urgent emerging challenges in post-MDG African development.

This book is written as a tribute to Frederick Nixson’s extensive work on industrial development in the Global South, while seeking to actively engage with the latest arguments concerning development economics, together with changes in manufacturing and industrial policy that continue to shape the role of the Global South in the international economy, the impact of the increased concentration of global multinational corporations in that space, along with the rise of new financing tools and debt traps. The chapters pay homage to Fred’s broad view of the international development process and reflect his breadth of perception both theoretically and geographically. The book targets both the scholarly and policymaking audience.

This handbook presents a wide-ranging and thorough overview of research topics and policy considerations in the field of development finance. The handbook brings together international contributions from both practitioners and academics to provide global, regional and national perspectives.Chapters are devoted to global contexts for development finance (including the Sustainable Development Goals framework); development financial planning in country-specific settings; domestic resource mobilization for economic development; external sources of finance including aid, foreign direct investment, remittances and illicit financial flows; innovative methods in development finance such as socially-responsible investment and faith-based finance; and mechanisms for blending public and private funding sources to support and sustain large infrastructure. The evolving area of climate finance, disaster risk reduction schemes, the role of FinTech in financial development, and rural credit markets are also discussed. The handbook also offers tools for the measurement of development finance impact on variables such as financial inclusion, sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction.Fully situated in the context of the international monetary system and recent global regulatory changes, as well as current debates concerning sustainable development, this handbook will act as an authoritative reference for students, researchers, and policy makers in this rapidly growing field.
