Development and the Power Theory of Economics
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-032-07925-1 (ISBN)
This book examines how power dynamics shape government policy, institutions, and economic strategies and define both development and economic growth. With a particular focus on Africa, it explores how power structures influence development outcomes and create a number of development challenges. Through the analysis of real world cases from both emerging and developing economies, an understanding of how power dynamics influence different countries and parts of the world in different ways is presented. The ways in which global power dynamics are shifting are also discussed to highlight future challenges the developing world will face.
This book provides a practical framework of how to make economic policy and development outcomes resilient to power dynamics and outside influence. It will be relevant to students, researchers, and policymakers working within development economics and economic policy.
Patrice Kandolo Kabeya is a Senior Programme Officer at the Southern African Development Community. He holds a PhD in Economics and International Development from the University Of Bradford, United Kingdom(UK).
