This book, part of the 'Schriften des Vereins für Socialpolitik' series, addresses the ongoing challenges and financial implications associated with development projects, particularly in developing countries. It explores the concept of 'follow-up costs' generated by new projects, impacting public budgets and exacerbating existing deficits. Through a compilation of research and empirical studies, the book provides insights into the financial management of these costs, emphasizing the need for external financing and sustainable development practices. The authors present various perspectives and case studies, including an analysis of financial structures and socio-cultural aspects affecting these projects. The book targets policymakers, economists, and scholars interested in development economics and financial policy reform. |
