Africa and Economic Policy cover

A ground-breaking study offering a unique conceptual framework for designing and conducting economic policy in developing countries.

This book suggests a unique conceptual framework for designing and conducting economic policy in developing countries, particularly those in Africa.

‘Africa and Economic Policy: Developing a Framework for Policymakers’ aims to fill an important gap in the current literature on economic policy in developing countries. Despite its richness and sophistication, the current economic literature has not yet succeeded in developing a framework for economic policy that is clear and intelligible to policymakers in developing countries, and which is capable of effectively delivering a sustained increase in citizens’ well-being. This ground-breaking study seeks to rectify this problem by suggesting a unique conceptual framework for designing and conducting economic policy in developing countries, particularly those in Africa.

“This is an important book on prospects for accelerated economic development in Africa by a well-qualified observer with extensive policy experience in the region. Ferdinand Bakoup has provided an original, systematic, and comprehensive overview of the policy challenges and opportunities facing Africa today, with a focus on how Africans themselves can achieve important gains in living standards on the continent through appropriate domestic policy choices. I recommend this book not just to macroeconomists and development economists with an interest in Africa, but to anyone with a professional interest in improving living standards in low-income countries more generally.” — Peter Montiel, Professor of Economics, Williams College, USA
