Routledge Library Editions: Development

This reissue, initially published in 1977, is an introduction to contemporary trading positions and problems of developing countries. The authors examine the main export options of Third World countries and consider the roles of the key international organisations - GATT, UNCTAD, etc - and those of national governments and foreign investors.

First published in 1961, this reissue examines the contemporary economic problems of Mauritius alongside those social problems which have a bearing on economic development. As a small and isolated economy, marked by a very rapid rate of contemporary population growth, by an extreme concentration on a single product, and by a great diversity of racial, religious and linguistic groups within the population, Mauritius is a representative microcosm of the economic problems of a large part of the developing world.

The Economic and Social Structure of Mauritius

This volume, first published in 1982, is a collection of original essays written to honour Professor W. Arthur Lewis, 1979 co-winner of the Nobel Prize in economics. The authors, an international group of distinguished scholars, address a varied set of specific issues reflecting Professor Lewis¿ research interests, covering topics which include: technological change in agriculture, analyses of unemployment and income distribution, the role of government policy in the development process, the historical record of development, and the relationship between developed and developing nations.

Essays in Honour of Sir Arthur Lewis

The Theory and Experience of Economic Development

Assessing both the macro- and micro-economic levels of the contemporary African Debt Crisis, this book, first published in 1989, begins by looking at the origins of the world debt crisis, and then looks closely at the problem as it affects Sub-Saharan Africa. The effects of debt on Africa's position in international relations are considered, and the roles played by organisations such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank are assessed. The authors also examine the local effects in a series of case studies of various states including Nigeria, Ghana and Sierra Leone, the Francophone States and Zaire.

The African Debt Crisis

First published in 1971, this reissue considers the main aspects of foreign aid to developing countries in terms of economic concepts and principles. The author gives an economic definition of aid and considers the motives for giving aid and the principles on which it may be allocated. He looks at the effect on the economic growth of developing countries of both the aid given and the need to repay the debt, and the effect on trade patterns and resource allocation of tying aid to one particular project, or one source of goods. While economic analysis is only a first step in providing a basis for policy decisions on foreign aid, Dr Healey shows that many issues can be clarified by looking at them from the economists' point of view.

The Economics of Aid

First published in 1985, this book reconsiders the whole question of urbanisation and planning in the Third World. It argues that public involvement, which is now an accepted part of Western planning, should be used more in Third World cities. It shows that many inhabitants of Third World cities are migrants from rural areas and have very definite ideas about what the function of the city should be and what it ought to offer; and it goes on to argue that therefore a planning process which involves more public participation would better serve local needs and would do much more to solve problems than the contemporary approach.

Spatial Perceptions and Public Participation

Urbanisation and Planning in the Third World

First published in 1975, in conjunction with the Overseas Development Institute, this study examines the case for and against aid for developing nations, taking the specific example of British aid to Malawi's economic development since independence in 1964. 

Kathryn Morton suggests that without Britain's aid, Malawi's capacity to develop would have been severely undermined and that aid has not generally inhibited Malawi's efforts to help itself. The rapid growth of both agricultural and industrial output alongside foreign exchange earnings and avoidance of large-scale urban unemployment and balance of payment problems do not bear out the critics' gloomy predictions. 

This book does much to counter the critics' case against aid and raises a number of vital questions in determining the future shape of aid policies for both Britain and other developed countries.

British Aid to Malawi

Aid and Dependence

First published in 1984, this work explores the issues surrounding the industrialisation of the Third World at the beginning of the 1980s. The expectation that Newly Industrialising Countries would facilitate industrial growth via an outward-orientated strategy had begun to be the combination of growing recession, growing protectionism and the diffusion of radical microelectronics-related technical change. In addition, the high indebtedness of developing countries made them increasingly dependent on assistance from the IMF and IBRD, whose policies increased the tendency towards de-industrialisation. 



The papers in this volume explore all of these issues and their implication for LDC industrial strategy in the 1980s.

First published in 1982, this study traces the development of Soviet military thinking on the Third World and assesses its importance for the conduct of Soviet foreign policy. Changes in Soviet military thought often reflect changes in Soviet attitudes towards and expectations from involvement in Third World conflicts. This work from Dr. Katz meditates upon the changing role of the USSR in post-war Third World conflicts, with particular emphasis upon the Brezhnev era and the way in which US setbacks in the Third World impacted upon Soviet foreign policy and changing attitudes to the Third World.

The Third World in Soviet Military Thought

First published in 1982, this work builds on the detailed economic history of Brazil in its companion volume: "Economic Structure and Change, 1822-1947", assessing and challenging the established interpretations. The book covers in depth the causes of the Northeast's poor economic experience and the emergence of significant regional inequality in Brazil's development. In his analysis of the role of Government in Brazil's economic development, the author offers a fresh perspective on the importance of public finance constraints and on the tensions between centralisation and federalism.

The study also deals with broader analytical interests, affording opportunity to examine the empirical relevance of long-term development models. In encompassing both the period of slow economic growth through much of the nineteenth century and the rapid economic development which began at the end of the century, the study is able to focus upon the conditions which led to the onset of sustained development in a major underdeveloped country, suggesting lessons for contemporary underdeveloped countries.

Reassessing the Obstacles to Economic Development

Underdevelopment and Development in Brazil: Volume II

Originally published in 1980, this work answers the crucial question of how social change should be guided in the developing countries. Professor Varma begins by posing the problems of the general scope of modernization and the general criteria used in the modernization process. He examines carefully some of the models that have been used for this purpose in the past, providing extensive summaries of the views on modernization of theorists in various social science disciplines, including sociology, politics, economics, and anthropology, and stresses the importance of these views in guiding policy decisions. The book concludes with a comparison of the development processes of the United States, the Soviet Union, China, Japan and India.

A Theoretical Study

The Sociology and Politics of Development

First published in 1964, this series of studies, compiled by the India team of Centre of International Studies at MIT, represents an important contribution to methods in planning for development, which will be of relevance to all those working in the field, irrespective of country. The results are demonstrated on examples taken from the Third Five-Year Plan and from some of the papers which underlay it.

Routledge Studies in Transport Analysis

During the last decades there have been important changes in the ways that goods are produced and distributed. This book analyzes the spatial outcomes of these changes by addressing key questions such as which places are taking advantage of this new configuration of flows? How do the firms in such places use transport and logistics to increase their power over other firms? This book moves geographically from the global to the local and examines maritime transport and ports as well as logistics and road transport. The results are relevant for any countries where logistics and transport are central to regional development initiatives.

Economics as Social Theory

Amartya Sen - who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Economic Science in 2003 - is one of the leading economists of his generation. The important new book provides an exposition and assessment of Amartya Sen's socio-economics, both positive and especially normative, including his contributions to welfare economics, ethics and the theory-and-policy approach of 'human development'. The exposition and assessment will include discussion of the historical and intellectual contexts. The book also analyzes Sen's contributions to philosophy, the second field in which Sen has published and held appointments.

Intellectual Capital (IC) has become synonymous with the Knowledge Economy, whereby the intangible resources of organisations are linked to the development of value. However, take up has been problematic, causing some pundits to question if it's simply 'locked' in theory. This book seeks to 'unlock' IC by offering a practical understanding of the IC paradigm since its inception, and takes a critical and performative examination of IC research and practices, whilst offering practical examples of how to implement it successfully. Viewed from both an academic and practioner perspective, this book is useful for students and wanting to apply IC effectively.

Routledge International Studies in Money and Banking

As an integral part of the world financial market, the global asset management industry has played a significant role in almost every critical event and change in the world financial market over the past four decades. Its growth has been facilitated from the financial innovations in products and management technologies from various financial institutions. It is definitely a challenge to comprehend the dynamic linkage between the global asset management industry and the world financial market, institutions and products. This book takes the challenge by providing a systematic and analytical review of the dynamic development of global asset management industry in its market structure, product diversities, risk management technologies and performance. The book aims at offering researchers, investors and financial practitioners a comprehensive introduction on how the dynamic development of global asset management industry has been integrated with the fast changing world financial market, institutions and products. As wealth or asset management is becoming a popular and specialized subject offered in university financial courses, this book may serve as a key textbook for financial courses in universities.

The Dynamic Development of Global Asset Management Industry

Routledge Perspectives on Development

In the last decade there has been an explosion of interest in the relationship between migration and development. In particular, there has been much excitement about the potential for migration to make a positive contribution to development and concern about ensuring that development reduces the need for people to migrate. The ensuing 'buzz' has created much discussion but it is often surrounded by conceptual confusion and simplistic analyses. This volume will introduce the reader to the debates about migration and development and provide a critical overview drawing on insights from case studies of particularly migration practices, development interventions and policy initiatives from different regions of the world. The text begins by situating the recent burst of interest in broader historical currents of development discourse, examining some of the intellectual and political factors that have brought it to the surface now. It introduces the main elements of migration theory as it has been applied in the developing regions of the world, before presenting the theories proposing causal relationships between migration and development. The book will then explore these interactions in more detail by focusing on some of the key concepts that underpin much of the discussion, in particular remittances, diasporas and human capital. A central argument of the book will be that migration must be seen as intimately related to development and change rather than as a symptom of development failure. An exception is perhaps provided with the movement of refugees and other forced migrants and a chapter will examine the extent to which it is helpful to distinguish forced and voluntary migration in relation to development. The final section will critically review how the migration and development discourse has been adopted by policy makers in a range of initiatives. The book will conclude by reflecting on how the development and migration debate remains incoherent and contradictory in many respects. It will argue that migration brings a challenge to sedentary notion of development that has yet to be taken seriously by development scholars. Each chapter will include case studies from different parts of the world to illustrate the points being made. In contrast to much of the current literature on migration and development, each chapter will consider both internal and international migration
