Taylor & Francis Ltd Institutions and Chinese Economic Development
Book SynopsisChina's rise as an economic power has posed some challenging questions: how did China achieve GDP growth that was even faster than the Four Asian Tigers? Is the Chinese model superior? Why hasn't the rapid economic growth lead to democracy in the country as many observers expected? And can China sustain its rapid economic growth with its existing social system? Institutions and Chinese Economic Development: A Comparative Historical Approach explores these questions by studying the historical relationship between institutions and economic development in China, drawing comparisons with England, Japan and other Asian economies as appropriate. The investigation focuses on several junctures in China's economic development: the starting point of the divergence between China and the West; the externally-provoked industrial development in the late 19th century; and the contemporary Chinese Miracle. The analysis foregrounds the role played by Chinese institutions anTable of Contents(1) Introduction (2) Core Institutions in China and England before the Industrial Revolution (3) Core Institutions and the First Industrial Revolution (4) The Chinese and Japanese States in the Nineteenth Century (5) Externally-Induced Industrial Developments in Qing China and Meiji Japan (6) The Chinese Miracle: Economic Growth in Contemporary China (7) Prospects of the Chinese Economic Development

Taylor & Francis Ltd Business Models and Firm Internationalisation
Book SynopsisInternationalisation has been a binding request for firms dealing with the challenges of the present-day realities. Extant international business publications have recently begun to point out the relationship between the notions of business model' and internationalisation', yet the filed needs considerably more attention.

The analysis makes it feasible to detect the core issues of the interdependences between business models and internationalisation to facilitate management decision-making and implementation of pertinent firm internationalisation incorporating the application of appropriate business models.

Taylor & Francis The Routledge Handbook of Comparative Rural
Book SynopsisThis volume represents the result of almost two decades of trans-Atlantic collaborative development of a policy research paradigm, the International Comparative Rural Policy Studies program. Over this period dozens of scientists from different disciplines but with a common interest in rural issues and policy have collaboratively studied the policies in North America, Europe, and other parts of the world.A core element of the book is the idea and practice of comparative research and analysis what can be learned from comparisons, how and why policies vary in different contexts, and what lessons might or might not be transferable across borders. It provides skills for the use of comparative methods as important tools to analyze the functioning of strategies and specific policy interventions in different contexts and a holistic approach for the management of resources in rural regions. It promotes innovation as a tool to valorize endogenousTable of ContentsList of figures. List of tables. Notes on contributors. Acknowledgements. Rural Policy Learning Commons.

Taylor & Francis Structural Change in Africa
Book SynopsisDebates 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 âAfricaâs transformationâ narrative, it outlines the practical pathways necessary for Africaâs sustainable develoTrade Review"This is the book so many of us have waited for and will welcome as an informed and rigorously empirical contribution to the challenges of our times – loss of biodiversity, fragile and fading social cohesion and the emergence of new forms of authoritarianism. It’s narrative of possibility, based on empirical evidence and informed by pluralist scholarship, constitutes a new departure in the economics of development. It is a work that is invaluable, not only to the continent of the young and the future that is Africa, but for all scholars and policy-makers concerned at the insufficiency of current economic models in delivering a sustainable global world. We are indebted to Lopes and Kararach." - Michael D. Higgins, President of Ireland "Capturing the diversity and richness of African narratives about development - past, present and future - remains a complex challenge. In their endeavour to bring context and perspective to Africa’s contemporary discourse about the future, Lopes and Kararach offer an eclectic yet compelling review of ‘narratives about Africa’ to demonstrate that perceptions often are not reality when it comes to reporting, research or rhetoric about Africa. Geography, demography and economy take centre stage in their search for greater African agency in articulating choices and pathways that will shape Africa’s future development and transformation. A rich and thought-provoking book that conveys opportunity and excitement about Africa’s diverse and fast changing prospects." - Achim Steiner, Administrator, United Nations Development Programme"This timely book presents one of the critical issues of development economics in the twenty-first century, namely Africa’s structural change. It combines both theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence to examine the challenges and misconceptions surrounding Africa’s structural transformation, and the central importance of industrialization. It will undoubtedly generate optimism about Africa. A must read to policymakers, researchers, and students!" - Arkebe Oqubay, Ethiopian Minister and author of "Made in Africa" (OUP, 2015)"Western based depictions of Africa massively underestimated its size and just about everything else about the continent. New tropes, such as ‘Africa Rising’ are equally misleading. The continent urgently needs a new narrative to support a transformative agenda underpinned by African agency. This is exactly what Lopes and Kararach provide in their superb new book which is essential reading for everyone with any interest in the future of Africa." - Kevin Marsh, Professor of Tropical Medicine and Director of Oxford Africa Initiative, Oxford University"This book is different! So, a must read. It presents a rich and refreshing perspective on Africa’s need for structural transformation with analysis based on diverse intellectual and philosophical approaches. Ultimately, it is Africans who must act to change mindsets by building a continent whose reality awakens and inspires." - Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former Nigerian Senior Minister, former World Bank Managing Director and Chair of GAVI and Africa Risk Capacity"This will be the first book I place in the hands of the emerging African leaders who study at the Mandela School. Not ignoring political economy challenges, Lopes and Kararach have written an articulate and persuasive exhortation to African agency in development, also describing the immense imminent potential of African economic development. It is comprehensively researched and eloquently copy edited." - Alan Hirsch, Professor and Director of the Nelson Mandela School of Public Governance, University of Cape Town"A forward-looking assessment of Africa’s prospects and the pathways for achieving structural transformation and inclusive growth. This is a must read for policymakers and students of African economies." - Fantu Cheru, Emeritus Professor, American University, Washington, DC"This book debunks the dominant analysis of Africa economic and social condition, examine methodically the politics, policy prescriptions and knowledge production that have reworked and accounted for the gains (often neglected) and regressions (always highlighted) of the continent's development trajectory. It paints a rich and multifaceted future of an awakening continent. An essential reading for everyone interested in the future of Africa." -Mamadou Diouf, Leitner Family Professor of African Studies and History, Columbia University"This is a thought proving and timely book on the prospects of and barriers to Africa's economic transformation. Its arguments challenge a number of liberal ideas about the best paths to economic prosperity making it all the more interesting." - Jonathan Rosenthal, Africa Editor, The EconomistTable of ContentsOverview Chapter 1: Defining structural transformation Chapter 2: Seeking transformation? Africa is not alone Chapter 3: Transformation through industrialization Chapter 4: Understanding other key enablers of Africa's structural transformation Chapter 5: Innovative development financing sources Chapter 6: Selected experiences: drilling into the country dimension Chapter 7: African circumstances and efforts into the future

Taylor & Francis Ltd The PanAfrican Imperative
Book SynopsisThis book argues that the principles of Pan-Africanism are more important than ever in ensuring the liberation of the people Africa, those at home and abroad, and the rapid development of the African continent. The writings and practice of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's first post-independence prime minister and president, were key in laying out a vision for post-independence Africa. Now, in an effort to counter the deluge of neo-liberal thinking that has engulfed so much of the debate on African development in recent decades, Michael Williams illuminates just how important a role an Nkrumaist intellectual framework can play in providing an accurate diagnosis of, and effective solution to, Africa's development crisis. This is done by examining Nkrumah's vision of the critical role Pan-Africanism must play in the development of the continent. Raising vitally important questions about Africa's development and the quality of life of its populations, this book will beTrade Review"Michael Williams has dedicated a great part of his life studying and bringing to life the Nkrumaist view on Pan-Africanism. In this book, he reawakens a powerful ideology: Pan-Africanism, spearheaded by Kwame Nkrumah, who remains one of the Africa’s most prolific contributors towards advocating for the unification of the continent. Divided into five chapters, this book coherently gives an account of the evolution and progress of this movement to date and concludes by providing some important guidelines through which this seemingly far-fetched dream could be realized as envisaged by Nkrumah himself. [...] Amidst the myriad problems plaguing the continent, The Pan-African Imperative is a timely reminder and clarion call for Africans to unite themselves in all fronts to secure a better future."

Taylor & Francis Unlocking Private Investment in Sustainable
Book SynopsisInvestment in infrastructure is essential for promoting economic growth, and while countries in Asia have enjoyed higher rates of gross domestic product growth in recent years, the region remains severely deficient in the scale and quality of sustainable infrastructure. Moreover, population growth and climate change continue to put increasing pressure on the need for strategic and farsighted development, calling for policy makers to reevaluate infrastructure governance to ensure sustainable economic growth. Currently, in developing Asia, most investment in infrastructure comes from the public sector. However, with growing fiscal deficits and other budgetary constraints, it is essential to develop alternative sources of investment for infrastructure projects. This presents opportunities to tap into the private sector, which can play an instrumental role in minimizing the funding gap through the development of stronger, more transparent publicprivate partnerships (PPPs) and incentiviz

Taylor & Francis Ltd Wellbeing and Growth in Advanced Economies
Book SynopsisEconomic growth is generally regarded by governments and most ordinary people as a panacea for all problems, including issues caused by the COVID pandemic. But this raises an important question: is further growth in advanced economies able to increase well-being once people's basic subsistence needs are met? Some advanced market economies, e.g. the United States, have exhibited a decline in well-being, both subjectively and objectively measured, over several decades despite seeing economic growth during the same period. This book provides an original and comprehensive explanation: economic growth, as driven by market forces, induces people, through both the demand- and supply-side channels, to pursue command over more material resources, and this weakens the self-generation of capabilities, putting well-being at risk of deterioration. The book argues, with the support of a variety of evidence, that the challenge can be overcome if governments' policies and people's choices puTrade Review"Given its stated aims, the book has a very appropriate structure that helps the development and comprehension of its theses. The topics are constructed in a systematic and careful manner, and each chapter provides a very useful literature review...The book is not only valuable for scholars working in the area of happiness research, but also for a much larger readership with an interest of the current problems that modern advanced economies are facing and the possible ways to tackle them."
