These include: Development and the environment The international debt crisis Endogenous growth The impact of foreign aid Fiscal reforms Migration Human capital Problems of trade liberalization The book is divided into four sections and is written in a straightforward style. Many new tables have been added to provide up-to-date statistical data, whilst more technical sections have been relegated to appendices.
