What is Industrial Policy and Economic Transformation in Africa (Initiative for Policy Dialogue at Columbia: Challenges in Development and Globalization) about?
The revival of economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa is all the more welcome for having followed one of the worst economic disastersa quarter century of economic malaise for most of the regionsince the industrial revolution. Six of the world's fastest-growing economies in the first decade of this century were African. Yet only in Ethiopia and Rwanda was growth not based on resources and the rising price of oil. Deindustrialization has yet to be reversed, and progress toward creating a modern economy remains limited. This book explores the vital role that active government policies can play in transforming African economies. Such policies pertain not just to industry. They traverse all economic sectors, including finance, information technology, and agriculture. These packages of learning, industrial, and technology (LIT) policies aim to bring vigorous and lasting growth to the region. This collection features case studies of LIT policies in action in many parts of the world, examining their risks and rewards and what they mean for Sub-Saharan Africa. -- Amazon.com
