Oxford University Press, USA Growth Inequality And Poverty Prospects for ProPoor Economic Development Wider Studies in Development Economics
Book SynopsisThis is a collection of papers examining the issue of increasing inequality in the distribution of income in developing countries. Growth, Inequality and Poverty comprises many of the most important contributions to the debate.Trade Review"Growth, Inequality and Poverty, edited by Anthony Shorrocks and Rolph Van Der Hoeven, is a very useful addition to the literature on the subject. Perhaps for the first time, readers will see how the thinking has evolved, converged and where disagreements remain, all in one volume. Readers will also be able to learn about the cutting-edge technical analysis (econometric and otherwise) and observe it applied to countries and regions where poverty is rampant. This book will become an obligatory source for researchers in the subject and reading material for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses on development economics." * Dr Nora Lustig, Rectora/President, Universidad de las Américas, Puebla, México *"In this well researched and excellently edited study an array of experts analyzes the relationships between poverty, inequality and growth. Although there is disagreement on many issues, there is growing agreement that poverty reduction and greater equality are not only desirable in themselves but are also good for economic growth." * Paul Streeten, Professor Emeritus of Economics, Boston University, and founder and chair of the Board of World Development *Together they make a valuable collection of papers on linkages between inequality and/or trade with growth and/or povertyresearchers will find much of value in the volumes, and research students will find the reviews, methods and case studies informative and useful. * Journal of International Development *Table of Contents1.

Oxford University Press, USA Achieving Development Success
Book SynopsisThis book presents development strategies and lessons based on a large range of ''success'' countries across the developing world. In addition to the country cases, it presents regional and overall syntheses that cover orthodox vs. heterodox policies; the importance of capability, primary exports, diversification and financing; managing diversity; the role of institutions and governance; and human development.The book reveals much diversity in successful development strategies offered by the various select countries: for example, the ''disinterested-government'' political economy of China; the democratically supported, high-service-sector development approach of India; the ''Washington-Consensus-based'' reforms of Ghana and China; the diversification strategies of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain and Oman; the dynamic orthodox-heterodox strategy of Malaysia and Vietnam; the effective natural-resource management of Botswana, Oman, Bahrain and the UAE; the social-sector underpinniTrade ReviewThis valuable collection of studies is full of new insights. It confirms that a deep understanding of economic history really matters for policy makers in developing countries. * Nicholas Crafts, Professor of Economic History, Warwick University *Comparative analysis of development successes based on country case studies is a useful complement to statistical cross-country regressions. While they have no claim at establishing causality, they give us a richness of detail that reliably suggests policy approaches to success. The 21 case studies from all five continents presented in this book show that success can be achieved, that there are many ways of engineering success, but that good governance and market forces play key complementary roles. While we have a good understanding of how markets work, knowing how to make developing country governments assume developmental functions is one of the greatest challenges to the development profession. This book makes an important contribution in that direction that will be of great assistance to both scholars and policy makers. * Elisabeth Sadoulet, Professor, Agricultural & Resource Economics, University of California at Berkeley *Nations are not destined to fail, however most fail to be successful. The case studies in this book provide both aspiration and insights on how to guide a nation away from failure towards success. This book will become an essential reading for scholars and for policy makers in developing countries, international development community, and in developed countries as well. * Justin Yifu Lin, Professor and Honorary Dean, National School of Development, Peking University and Former Chief Economist, World Bank *Table of ContentsPART I: EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC (SOUTH KOREA, MALAYSIA, THAILAND, AND VIETNAM); PART II: THE EMERGING ASIAN GIANTS (INDIA AND CHINA); PART III: SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA (BOTSWANA, MAURITIUS, SOUTH AFRICA, AND GHANA?; PART IV: LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN (BRAZIL, CHILE, COSTA RICA, AND THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC); PART V: MIDDLE-EAST AND NORTH AFRICA (OMAN, BAHRAIN, TUNISIA, AND THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES)
