Africa's Recovery in the 1990s: From Stagnation and Adjustment to Human Development
ISBN: 9780333573150 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 375 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. While the design of adjustment policies in the latter part of the 1980s has generally shown greater attention to their impact on growth and social implications, this book argues that several orthodox adjustment policies are still incongruent with long-term development in Africa. It goes on to discuss a development strategy which could lead to a much awaited economic recovery and improvement in social conditions in Africa in the 1990s drawing its conclusions from a general theoretical discussion and national case-studies.

ISBN: 9780199242184 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is the first comprehensive assessment of the mortality crisis which has affected most economies in transition but which has remained so far largely unexplained.

Protecting the Vulnerable and Promoting Growth
ISBN: 9780198286097 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Following three decades of progress, improvements in the welfare of children and other vulnerable groups worldwide began to falter in the mid-1970s. World recession, and in particular the debt crisis in Latin America and African famine, have seriously affected economic development programs in less developed countries. At the same time, however, large-scale health programs have had a noticeable impact. This study both illustrates the extent of the current crisis and points to the successes to show how welfare policies can--and must--become part of national planning even when the economy is in...
