Vietnam, along with China, stands out as a rare success story among transition economics. This authoritative study of the reform process since 1989 pays particular attention to the way the macroeconomics framework can contribute to an environment that encourages human development and helps to reduce poverty. Thus there are chapters on macroeconomics reforms, international trade policies, the role of the state, rural development, education and health, environmental issues and poverty and gender inequality. Although areas of weakness are indicated, emphasis is placed on the success Vietnam has experienced compared to other transition economies. The lessons of both the successes and failures of the reform process for policymakers elsewhere are outlined.

The book makes a strong and convincing case for a renewed emphasis on human development both to foster economic growth and as an end in itself. Policies for human development enhance the 'capabilities' of people to be and to do things. This book brings together contributions by recognised experts on various aspects of human development - educational policy, health and nutrition, technological capabilities, and the harnessing of local resources - and builds on them to advocate a redirection of policies for the 1990s.

'Readers will find in these pages a very lucid, creative, and highly readable version of many of the ideas that have taken shape through the medium of the Human Development Reports during the last four years. Busy policy makers all over the world will find this an indispensable primer.' - Mahbub ul Haq, from the preface. This book introduces the basic concepts of human development and presents policy guidelines for implementing a human development strategy in developing countries. Human development is seen both as an end in itself and as a means to increase the capabilities of people. The role of the state, the market and of people's participation in such a strategy are described. Specific chapters discuss the structure of incentives, allocation of public sector resources, structural reforms, the relationship of human development to environmental issues and finance and administration.

This book contains an analysis of the economic problems encountered in Mongolia during the transition from a centrally planned to a market economy, when poverty increased dramatically, unemployment rose sharply, health and education indicators deteriorated, and the economic and social position of women declined. Yet there is considerable potential in Mongolia for a broadly based acceleration of output, particularly if priority is given to the nomadic livestock sector and to grass-roots development at the provincial level. The book contains many policy suggestions intended to promote growth and employment and to reduce poverty.

Studies in Development Strategy and Systemic Transformation examines many of the leading issues in economic development. In Part I, Professor Griffin analyses strategic visions: the role of culture in long-term economic growth; globalization and its implications for the territorial state and global governance; the human development strategy; and the effects of the distribution of productive assets on the pace of development. Part II is concerned with systemic transformation and macroeconomic reform. Alternative reform strategies are analysed for countries trying to effect a transition from centrally-planned to market-oriented economies. Shock therapy is severely criticized. An alternative approach to macroeconomic reform also is presented for sub-Saharan Africa, in which emphasis is placed on an investment-led strategy of structural development. A separate chapter is devoted to how an investment-led strategy could be financed with domestic resources alone. Part III contains three case studies of low-income transition economies, two of which are examples of success (Vietnam and China) and one an example of failure (Kazakhstan).

Written in a style that makes it accessible to everyone interested in development studies, not just to economists, the focus of this collection of essays is on hunger, poverty and inequality. Much of the content of the book is based on the author''s first-hand experience in, for example, Ethiopia and China, and his views on foreign aid and the debt crisis will make controversial and provocative reading.
