Recenzii
“In exploring the multiple dimensions of the post-2015 development agenda for Africa, this clear, well-structured, and compelling collection by leading African and international scholars offers promising but realistic policy choices for addressing the region’s challenges.”
“A valuable and wide-ranging discussion of the achievements and challenges of African development that demonstrates the importance of a ‘developmental state’ in enabling Africans to take charge of their own destiny.”
“A refreshing and comprehensive political economy perspective on Africa’s socioeconomic transformation within the post-2015 development agenda. It is a must read for both economists and non-economists who yearn for freedom from the ‘Africa rising’ mantra. A highly compelling and wonderfully readable story.”
