African Development: Making Sense of the Issues and Actors

African Development: Making Sense of the Issues and Actors by Moss, Todd J.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781588267696.

In the ongoing battle against global poverty, the countries of Africa continue to present the greatest challenge. African Development offers a comprehensive introduction to the issues, actors, and institutions interacting across the diverse continent. Each chapter is organized around three fundamental questions: Where are we now? How did we get to this point? What are the current debates? Interspersed throughout are vivid sidebars acquainting the student with ten well-known "big men" and ten equally important but lesser known African actors. The text also includes the ABCs of development jargon. Other useful features include chapter-by-chapter suggestions for further reading and a comprehensive index.
