Commentators are beginning to ask whether a new generation of 'lions' is emerging to challenge the East Asian 'tigers'. This book examines the conditions necessary not just for growth in Africa but for a wider business and economic transformation. Drawing on studies of Rwanda, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Ghana, it argues, controversially, that neo-patrimonial governance need not be an obstacle to improved economic conditions.Development studiesbicsscAfricaEconomic policyDevelopment studies338.9683.30bclKelsall Tim675074EBLCPCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910823484403321Business, Politics, and the State in Africa3925205UNINA
