Title: | Understanding Development Governance: Concepts, Institutions, and Processes | Contributor(s): | Zafarullah, HM (author) ; Huque, AS (author) | Publication Date: | 2006 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/361 | Abstract: | The decolonized developing nations in Asia, Africa, and Latin America have been struggling since the end of World War II to overcome the scourge of poverty and human misery and to lift living standards to reasonable and satisfactory levels. Post-colonial development strategies generally faltered in attacking poverty and were only partly productive in alleviating social malaise. For several decades, development was equated with economic growth measured purely in terms of economic variables such as GDP, per capita income, rate of investments, or industrial productivity, yet the masses of the poor or the impoverished rural areas were virtually excluded from the benefits that flowed from such piecemeal economic growth. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | International Development Governance, p. 14-50 | Publisher: | CRC Press | Place of Publication: | Boca Raton, United States of America | ISBN: | 1574445561 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 160510 Public Policy | HERDC Category Description: | B1 Chapter in a Scholarly Book | Publisher/associated links: | http://books.google.com.au/books?id=kHPqelbvLHgC&lpg=PP1&pg=PA13 http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/32798295 http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781574445565 |
