Development Policy in Africa Mastering the Future?

The author investigates a number of topical issues for Africa's development: migration and population, macroeconomic policy, climate change, food security, energy security, infrastructure, regional integration and the importance of innovations, and research and development. The book covers subjects such as economy and politics, development financing, trans-boundary governance, public service delivery and inclusive growth. With a clear focus on the capacity dimension, Kararach proposes critical policy and action-oriented recommendations on how to overcome both present and future emergencies in Africa.
