The Role of Regional Trade Integration and Governance in Structural Transformation: Evidence from ECOWAS Trade Bloc - Abiodun Surajudeen Bankole and Musibau Adekunle Oladapo.This book explores how better governance can help Africa to achieve structural transformation (understood to be the reallocation of factors of production across and within sectors to better support inclusive development), which history has shown to be key to sustained, inclusive growth. The book begins with a review of the existing literature on the links between governance and structural transformation and the success or otherwise of various sub regions in achieving structural transformation. It continues with a range of contributors addressing original empirical research on the relationships between different approaches to institutions and trade and industrial policies and structural transformation in Africa. The book makes recommendations for a new approach to governance in Africa that can deliver the structural transformation that the continent needs for Africans to enjoy shared prosperity, poverty reduction and development.Africa—Economic conditionsEconomic policyEconomic growthDevelopment economicsAfrican Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45020Economic Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010Economic Growthhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W44000Development Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000Africa—Economic conditions.Economic policy.Economic growth.Development economics.African Economics.Economic Policy.Economic Growth.Development Economics.330.0096338.96Elhiraika Adam Bedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtIbrahim Gamaledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDavis Williamedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910337678203321Governance for Structural Transformation in Africa2253321UNINA
