Opis

Africa still finds itself in the clutches of poverty and underdevelopment. The expected benefits from economic restructuring have not been realized and the debt burden continues to weigh heavily on African economies, constraining the possibilities of growth. This volume brings together leading researchers and analysts to examine issues and identify policy options which can lead to renewal in Africa.
