Description
The Financial Crisis and Developing Countries: A Global Multidisciplinary Perspective provides a comprehensive analysis of the regional and country-specific impacts of the financial crisis in emerging markets and developing countries. This book develops a multidisciplinary perspective on the crisis, using both heterodox and mainstream methodologies to examine its empirical impacts on vulnerable populations. It critically discusses mainstream approaches to development and analyses governance responses, including those of the G20. The contributors assess the measures taken to address the crisis and reveal that many underlying factors, such as inequality and inadequate international financial architecture, have not been adequately addressed, leading to ongoing crises. This timely book offers accessible information on the impact of the crisis, making it a valuable resource for students of development studies and international economics, as well as researchers and policymakers seeking to understand the global economy.
