Readers will acquire both breadth and depth of knowledge in critical and contemporary issues in development finance from a philosophical and yet pragmatic development impact approach. The text ensures this by carefully integrating the relevant theoretical underpinnings, empirical assessments, and practical policy issues into its analysis.

The different chapters touch on all the relevant dimensions, including international capital flows, microfinance and financial inclusion. An important contribution to our field!”\u003c\/strong\u003e – Thorsten Beck, Professor of Banking and Finance, The Business School (formerly Cass), University of London, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e“An abundance of literature exists in development finance, but this book will be an important ‘one stop shop’ for researchers, teachers, and policy makers. It is thematic and coherent. The underpinning is on contemporary theories and empirics linking finance and development with emphasis on inclusive development. This is because financial sector development alone does not ensure inclusive finance that is vital for inclusive development. The financial instruments considered are also wide ranging; so are the actors who can help bridge the financial development gap.”\u003c\/strong\u003e – Lemma Senbet, The William E.
