Introduction -- 2. Towards Analytic Coherence in Assessing Economic Development Policy Making: Special Reference to African Countries -- 3. Building the Capacity for Domestic Resource Mobilization in African Countries -- 4. Regional Economic Integration in Africa and Intra-Regional Trade -- 5. The Export Challenges for African Countries.This book presents a coherent framework for assessing economic policy making in developing countries, with special reference to those in Africa. The chapters focus on policy making issues in three critical areas that are of major importance in the African context: capacity building for domestic resource mobilization; regional integration in Africa and intra-regional trade; and export diversification of individual African countries. Although applying economic theory as well as using case studies and empirical evidence from the economics literature, the book is written in a way that makes the core ideas accessible even to readers without advanced knowledge of the technical economics involved. Economic Diversification and Growth in Africa is a timely study which demonstrates how developing countries in Africa can improve their policy making strategies to diversify their economies and accelerate economic development.
