Book Synopsis Economic Crisis in Africa by : Magnus Blomström
Download or read book Economic Crisis in Africa written by Magnus Blomström and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-22 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the pitiful images of famine victims generally emanate from the very poorest countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, the entire region faces an intense economic crisis. Why is this area in a state of near-permanent crisis and perhaps more importantly, what can be done about it? In Economic Crisis in Africa the authors use country studies to examine how this situation has come about. The book is divided into four parts: Part I presents an overall perspective of the African Crisis and its management; Part II addresses the problems of the external sector; Part III discusses the crises and structural adjustment from a microperspective; and finally, Part IV examines changes in economic systems which took place during the 1980s. At a time when famine again threatens the area, this work offers a valuable insight into a highly complex and critical situation.
Book Synopsis Modernization and the Crisis of Development in Africa by : Jeremiah I. Dibua
Download or read book Modernization and the Crisis of Development in Africa written by Jeremiah I. Dibua and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Jeremiah I. Dibua challenges prevailing notions of Africa's development crisis by drawing attention to the role of modernization as a way of understanding the nature and dynamics of the crisis, and how to overcome the problem of underdevelopment. He specifically focuses on Nigeria and its development trajectory since it exemplifies the crisis of underdevelopment in the continent. He explores various theoretical and empirical issues involved in understanding the crisis, including state, class, gender and culture, often neglected in analysis, from an interdisciplinary, radical political economy perspective. This is the first book to adopt such an approach and to develop a new framework for analyzing Nigeria's and Africa's development crisis. It will influence the debate on the development dilemma of African and Third World societies and will be of interest to scholars and students of race and ethnicity, modern African history, class analysis, gender studies, and development studies.
Book Synopsis The Historical Origin of the African Economic Crisis by : Alemayehu Geda
Download or read book The Historical Origin of the African Economic Crisis written by Alemayehu Geda and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-13 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illuminates the answers to various major questions on African development related to international trade and finance. It explores the economic interaction between Africa and the now-developed countries (the West) in the past and China today, as well as the legacy of these interactions for Africa’s growth and poverty reduction effort today. In addition, it discusses the implication of this legacy for Africa’s future development, and considers whether lessons can be drawn from this experience in terms of the continent’s future development? By providing in-depth historical and economic analysis conducted in non-technical terms, the book represents a valuable resource for policy makers, researchers, and students, as well as international organizations that focus on African development.
Book Synopsis Africa Needs God's Economics by : Emmanuel Daykeay
Download or read book Africa Needs God's Economics written by Emmanuel Daykeay and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-06-06 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The breakdown of Africa financial systems and the subsequent economic crisis have caused an increasing suspicion of the way things operate in the continent. Why has the African economy become so unsustainable, unfair, and unstable, with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer? A conversation about how the market should operate within a moral outline is needed now more than ever. Inside this book, you'll find techniques for tracking expenditures, decreasing spending, and getting out from under the burden of high-interest debt. Emmanuel explains the basics of investing in unadorned English, as well as the risks, returns, and options for popular investment strategies. He also covers ways to save for school and special events, proficient your taxes, and financially survive the screw shingle turns that life brings. Africa Needs God's Economics: Critical Rethinking of Our Financial Crisis shows that God requires a different kind of economy--both worldwide and domestically--and provides ideologies that should guide economic policy matters, including transparency, clarity, accountability, and protecting the common good against private greed. The author explores things we can all do to help fix the financial crisis for the good of Africa.
Book Synopsis African Economies and the Politics of Permanent Crisis, 1979-1999 by : Nicolas Van de Walle
Download or read book African Economies and the Politics of Permanent Crisis, 1979-1999 written by Nicolas Van de Walle and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-09-24 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book explains why African countries have remained mired in a disastrous economic crisis since the late 1970s. It shows that dynamics internal to African state structures largely explain this failure to overcome economic difficulties rather than external pressures on these same structures as is often argued. Far from being prevented from undertaking reforms by societal interest and pressure groups, clientelism within the state elite, ideological factors and low state capacity have resulted in some limited reform, but much prevarication and manipulation of the reform process, by governments which do not really believe that reform will be effective.
Book Synopsis The Global Financial Crisis and Workers' Remittances to Africa by : Mr.Ralph Chami
Download or read book The Global Financial Crisis and Workers' Remittances to Africa written by Mr.Ralph Chami and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using data on the distribution of migrants from Africa, GDP growth forecasts for host countries, and after estimating remittance multipliers in recipient countries, this paper estimates the impact of the global economic crisis on African GDP via the remittance channel during 2009-2010. It forecasts remittance declines into African countries of between 3 and 14 percentage points, with migrants to Europe hardest hit while migrants within Africa relatively unaffected by the crisis. The estimated impact on GDP for relatively remittance-dependent countries is 2 percent for 2009, but will likely be short-lived, as host country income is projected to rise in 2010.

Book Synopsis The Global Economic Crisis: Impact on Sub-Saharan Africa and Global Policy Responses by :
Download or read book The Global Economic Crisis: Impact on Sub-Saharan Africa and Global Policy Responses written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sub-Saharan Africa has been strongly affected by the global recession, despite initial optimism that the global financial system would have few spillover effects on the continent. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimated in 2009 that average economic growth in Africa would slow to 1%, from an annual average of over 6% to 1% over the previous five years, before rebounding to 4% in 2010. As a region, Africa is not thought to have undergone a recession in 2009. However, most African countries are thought to require high rates of economic growth in order to outpace population growth and make progress in alleviating poverty. The mechanisms through which the crisis has affected Africa include a contraction in global trade and a related collapse in primary commodity exports, on which many countries are dependent. Foreign investment and migrant worker remittances are also expected to decrease significantly, and some analysts predict cuts in foreign aid in the medium term if the crisis persists. Africa's most powerful economies have proven particularly vulnerable to the downturn: South Africa has experienced a recession for the first time in nearly two decades, and Nigeria and Angola have reported revenue shortfalls due to the fall in global oil prices. Several countries seen as having solid macroeconomic governance, notably Botswana, have sought international financial assistance to cope with the impact of the crisis. At the same time, a number of low-income African countries are projected to experience relatively robust growth in 2009 and 2010, leading some economists to talk of Africa's underlying economic resilience. The 111th Congress has monitored the impact of the global economic crisis worldwide. The Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009 (P.L. 111-32), provided $255.6 million for assistance to vulnerable populations in developing countries affected by the crisis.
Book Synopsis Sub-Saharan Africa by : Ms.Catherine A. Pattillo
Download or read book Sub-Saharan Africa written by Ms.Catherine A. Pattillo and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2006-08-28 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial sectors in low-income sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are among the world's least developed. In fact, assets in most low-income African countries are smaller than those held by a single medium-sized bank in an industrial country. The absence of deep, efficient financial markets seriously challenges policy making, hinders poverty alleviation, and constrains growth. This book argues that building efficient and sound financial sectors in SSA countries will improve Africa's economic prospects. Based on a review of the key features of financial systems, it discusses the main obstacles and challenges that financial structures pose for SSA economies and recommends steps that could address major shortcomings in implementing the reform agenda.

Book Synopsis The Global Financial and Economic Crisis in the South by : Leon-Manriquez, Jose Luis
Download or read book The Global Financial and Economic Crisis in the South written by Leon-Manriquez, Jose Luis and published by CODESRIA. This book was released on 2017-05-03 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the outcome of a South-South conference jointly organized by the Asian Political and International Studies Association (APISA), the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO) and the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA) in Dakar, Senegal, May 2012. The conference was organised in response to the financial crisis of 2008 which started in the United States and Europe, with reverberating effects on a global scale. Economic problems emanating from such crises usually leave major social and structural impacts on important sectors of the society internationally. They affect living standards and constrain the well-being of people, especially in poor countries. Persistent problems include high unemployment, increased debt and low growth in developed countries, as well as greater difficulties in accessing finance for investment in the developing world. There is a need for countries in the South to examine the available options for appropriate national and regional responses to the different problems emanating from the economic crisis. This book attempts to provide ideas on some strategic responses to the disastrous impact of the crisis, while keeping in mind the global common interest of the South. It is hoped that the book will contribute significantly towards the agenda to rethink development and the quest for alternative paradigms for a just, stable and equitable global political, economic and social system. A system in which Africa, Asia, and Latin America are emancipated from the shackles of hegemonic and anachronistic neoliberal dictates that have nothing more to offer than crises, vulnerabilities and dependency.
