Summary: Introduction -- Part I: Analysis of West Africa's Economic Growth -- Part II: Political Economy of Economic Growth -- Part III: Sectoral Policy and Economic Growth.Summary: The book provides a detailed analysis of the causes of West Africa’s current economic high-growth episode and proposes ways to extend it sustainably. It examines the potential role of regional integration through the establishment of a common currency union and of other policy options that can enhance economic growth. The authors suggest appropriate methods of coordination between macroeconomic policy and industrialization to achieve higher economic growth and also examine why pro-poor strategies have not been successful. The book underscores the challenges and opportunities that will arise from the structural change to the region’s economies resulting from the necessary investment in manufacturing exports, ICT and infrastructure, which are key vehicles for extended growth. Readers will learn how the region can better reach its developmental goals by securing and perpetuating political liberty and transactional freedom for all its citizens.PPN: PPN: 1657525457Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXEF | ZDB-2-ECF
