Download or read book Third World Development Experience written by S. Chandrasekhar and published by Daya Books. This book was released on 1990 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book deals, extensively with the underdeveloped African State of Tanzania. It is predominantly an agricultural economy, mostly a subsistence one. The author has delved deep into the problems confronted by Tanzania in its developmental process. The development problems of Tanzania are extremely heterogeneous varying widely, from one region to another. The author has made a reference of the physical impediments in the way of successful implementation of the various developmental schemes. An assessment of the implementation of the policy particularly with regard to the agricultural development aspects of it has been made. The dismal performance of agriculture has been attributed to the formulation of too many policies, along with many other factors. A special reference has been made of the Ujamaa policy. The unrelenting intervention of the government in all activities including agriculture in some form of public enterprise which are known as the parastatals and lack of suitable incentives to participate in the production processes are also held responsible for the sorry state of agriculture. The resource constraints, the increasing trade gap, growing eternal debt, increasing trade gap, falling investment in agriculture and decreased investment in infrastructure, rapid inflation are only some hurdles which are to be surmounted to achieve the final goal. The book will be very useful to the scholars and researchers doing research work on the economics of third world countries. It will also help the policy makers and provide comprehensive study material to a layman. Contents Chapter 1: Financing Development in Tanzania-The Inflation Context; Chapter 2: Employment and Wages in Tanzanian Parastatals; Chapter 3: Performance of the Manufacturing Enterprises; Chapter 4: Conclusion.
Download or read book Liberal America and the Third World written by Robert A. Packenham and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Europe after World War II, U.S. economic aid helped to ensure economic revival, political stability, and democracy. In the Third World, however, aid has been associated with very different tendencies: uneven political development, violence, political instability, and authoritarian rule in most countries. Despite these differing patterns of political change in Europe and the Third World, however, American conceptions of political development have remained largely constant: democracy, stability, anti-communism. Why did the objectives and theories of U.S. aid officials and social scientists remain largely the same in the face of such negative results and despite the seeming inappropriateness of their ideas in the Third World context? Robert Packenham believes that the thinking of both officials and social scientists was profoundly influenced by the "Liberal Tradition" and its view of the American historical experience. Thus, he finds that U.S. opposition to revolution in the Third World steins not only from perceptions of security needs but also from the very conceptions of development that arc held by Americans. American pessimism about the consequences of revolution is intimately related to American optimism about the political effects of economic growth. In his final chapter the author offers some suggestions for a future policy. Originally published in 1973.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing countries have undergone significant industrialization in the last three decades. Yet industrial growth reveals marked spatial inequalities in terms of both country and location. The Newly Industrialised Countries have achieved spectacular growth in sharp contrast to many other countries of the South. Industrial structure has changed, moving away from labour intensive industries to more technologically advanced manufacturing. Developing countries have had considerable success in penetrating developed country markets but they are now encountering more market restrictions. The role of the government in the development of the economy is also changing. Increasingly, countries are turning towards export-orientated industrialization strategies and privatization whilst their governments are emphasising their facilitative role.
Download or read book Whatever Happened to the Third World written by Peter de Haan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-29 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can the successful development of some former Third World countries be explained, while other developing countries have remained stagnant or worse, have deteriorated into failed states? This book offers a history of the economics of development. De Haan examines how the right mix of policies and evolving insights in development economics have impacted certain countries with the progression from low-income to middle-income, and even high-income status. In particular middle-income countries encounter hindrances to transit into high-income countries. The challenges of low-income countries and those of fragile and failed states is elaborated as well. Due attention is given to successive generations of development economists, economic growth models and international trade theories to provide academic background to the evolution or stagnation of developing countries. The author’s own experience in development aid is woven into the text, making this book important and entertaining reading for researchers, students of development economics, international trade and international aid.
Download or read book Development Crises and Alternative Visions written by Gita Sen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than half of the world's farmers are women. They are the majority of the poor, the uneducated and are the first to suffer from drought and famine. Yet their subordination is reinforced by well-meaning development policies that perpetuate social inequalities. During the 1975-85 United Nations Decade for the Advancement of Women their position actually worsened. This book analyses three decades of policies towards Third World women. Focusing on global economic and political crises - debt, famine, militarization, fundamentalism - the authors show how women's moves to organize effective strategies for basic survival are central to an understanding of the development process.
