Growth and Development in Africa

By Diery Seck and Diery Seck and Dipo T. Busari

Africa is a paradox that continues to baffle development scholars. With the largest stock of natural resources in the world, immense areas of unused arable land and water and a young population, it should have significant economic growth and development - yet, it remains the least developed region in the world and faces increasing marginalisation. A collective effort of leading African social science research and academic institutions seeking to advance the debate, this volume includes scholarly studies on the diverse challenges facing Africa today.
