The Role of Governance in Economic Development: A Political Economy (Used)

Corruption, overcentralisation, and internal conflicts are widespread in many parts of the world. This book presents an innovative approach to institutional economics, drawing on experience in developing countries. In a relatively rare type of analysis by a development economist, the author views these phenomena as systematic instances of institutional failure. No magic remedies are offered, but the essays contained in this book provide a framework for research and a structured approach that will be of interest to those concerned with policy making in developing countries.
