Description
Economics and Development Studies provides a comprehensive understanding of the economic aspects of international development. This textbook synthesizes existing literature to identify key issues and controversies in development economics, making them accessible to students studying development studies. The book consists of eight chapters covering topics such as development economics, economic growth, structural change, and poverty, equality, and development economists. It aims to distinguish differences within the economics profession and between economists and non-economists, enabling readers to make informed judgments about policy analysis and advice. Featuring explanatory text boxes, tables, diagrams, suggestions for further reading, and a list of economic concepts used in the chapters, this book is ideal for second and third-year undergraduate students working towards degrees in development studies.
