Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between trade policy and industrialization has provoked much controversy. Can trade policy promote economic growth in developing countries? Those actively working in the area are becoming increasingly sceptical about the conventional advice given by international policy advisors and organizations. This volume builds upon earlier theoretical and empirical research on trade policy and industrialization but is the first cross-the-board attempt to review developing country experiences in this realm for twenty years. The experience of fourteen developing countries in the 1970s and 1980s is assessed by the contributors, each of whom have a detailed understanding of their country's recent experience.

Download or read book Clothing and Footwear in African Industrialisation written by Dorothy McCormick and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a broad consensus amongst development specialist that in order to grow and develop, African countries need to industrialise; and at a greater rate than they are doing at present. In searching for the reasons for the disappointing industrial progress so far, observers have tended to take a broad look at the industrial sector as a whole. The work reported in this volume takes a different approach. It sets out from the premise that two industries - clothing and footwear - offer excellent starter opportunities for baseline industrial growth. Garments and footwear are low-tech industries in so far that use stable, well-diffused technology. They generate only low-level research and development needs, require only basic skills, and operate on low economies of scale, whilst having the capacity to absorb large numbers of semi-skilled workers and make extensive use of local resources. Additionally they offer considerable export potential. This collection of papers focuses on the changing role and potential of the clothing and footwear sectors in industrialisation in Africa. The examples elucidated are the clothing and footwear sectors in Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa and Tanzania. Taken together, these four countries provide a representative cross sector of African countries and present a range of different issues relating to the continent's clothing and footwear economy. More generally, the volume seeks to contribute to a greater appreciation of the impacts of globalisation on industrial development trajectories.

Download or read book Urban Dynamics in Black Africa written by William J. Hanna and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Dynamics in Black Africa presents a succession of worlds where we can study the development and the crystallization of major social change. The authors trace the development of former villages, towns, and colonial outposts into major cities within the international community. Open-air markets continue their trading beside modern department stores as individual Africans create contemporary lives from old and new. William J. and Judith L. Hanna, in this unique work, introduce new data and the methods of dependency theory, class and gender analysis; they offer connections between Africa's internal dynamics, its legacy of imperialism, and the international political and economic arena. At the same time, the book provides a model for studying the evolution of political institutions. Urban Dynamics in Black Africa illustrates how social classes modify and are modified by existing cultural forms. The book examines Africa in its independence by contrasting development and dependency, role adaptability and conflict, in a powerful conceptual matrix. Detailing the urban conditions that exist throughout Africa as well as their costs and benefits, this work shows how contemporary political conflict in urban Africa is based upon both ethnic and non-ethnic ties; and how these ethnic and non-ethnic ties serve as the bases of a system of political integration unique to poly-ethnic communities. As a synthesis of the relevant available knowledge on African towns and town-dwellers, this book is concerned primarily with the effects of external intervention and socioeconomic modernization upon the birth and development of Africa's new towns and the rapid expansion of its old ones. It considers the impact of migration and town life upon Africans.
