Advancing Development de G. Mavrotas

Advancing Development

Editat de G. Mavrotas, A. Shorrocks
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 ian 2007

Observăm o schimbare de paradigmă în economia dezvoltării, de la simpla măsurare a creșterii economice către o înțelegere nuanțată a bunăstării umane și a inegalităților structurale. Lucrarea Advancing Development, editată de G. Mavrotas și A. Shorrocks, reprezintă un efort monumental de a cartografia această evoluție a doctrinei între 1950 și 2005, oferind în același timp o perspectivă critică asupra viitorului politicilor de guvernare centrală. Volumul este organizat riguros în secțiuni tematice care facilitează o progresie logică de la teorie la practică. Partea de retrospectivă analizează punctele de cotitură din gândirea economică, în timp ce secțiunile ulterioare se concentrează pe corelația dintre inegalitate, corupție și conflictele violente. Remarcăm profunzimea analizei în capitolele dedicate sănătății publice ca motor al dezvoltării, unde sunt prezentate studii de caz concrete, precum cel al Mexicului. Acoperă aceeași arie tematică precum Globalisation, Poverty and Conflict de Max Spoor, dar cu o abordare mult mai extinsă asupra perspectivelor istorice și a mecanismelor instituționale de securitate. În contextul operei editorilor, acest titlu consolidează direcțiile explorate în Development Finance in the Global Economy și Domestic Resource Mobilization and Financial Development. Dacă lucrările anterioare se concentrau pe arhitectura financiară și mobilizarea resurselor interne, Advancing Development lărgește cadrul de analiză, integrând dimensiuni sociale și politice esențiale pentru atingerea Obiectivelor de Dezvoltare ale Mileniului. Este un instrument de referință care nu se limitează la teorie, ci investighează capacitatea globală de a răspunde provocărilor deceniilor viitoare.

Recenzii

'The impressively broad range of issues in global economics that are covered in this volume bring out not only the diversity of problems that are all quite important for development in the contemporary world, but also the fact, in which there is reason to take some pride, that WIDER, as a new institute of research, has been able to contribute substantially to such a variety of fields, informed by a good understanding of the need for coverage as well as quality.' - From the Foreword by Amartya Sen
'Contains excellent essays on the dynamics of economic development ... The vastness of this book's coverage makes it impossible to do justice to its contents the book is an excellent survey of the thinking on development.' - S.L. Rao, The Hindu
