The period from 1960 to 2000 was one of remarkable growth and transformation in the world economy. Why did most of Sub-Saharan Africa fail to develop over this period? Why did a few small African economies succeed spectacularly? The Political Economy of Economic Growth in Africa, 1960–2000 is by far the most ambitious and comprehensive assessment of Africa's post-independence economic performance to date. Volume 1 examines the impact of resource wealth and geographical remoteness on Africa's growth and develops a new dataset of governance regimes covering all of Sub-Saharan Africa. Volume 2 supports and extends this analysis by providing twenty-six case studies of individual African economies. Eighteen of the case studies are contained in the book and a further eight are included on an accompanying CD-ROM. This is an invaluable resource for researchers and policy-makers concerned with the economic development of Africa.
