Karl Wohlmuth, Tino Urban (Eds.) Reconstructing Economic Governance after Conflict in Resource-rich African Countries Reihe: Institut für Weltwirtschaft und Internationales Management Bd. 15, 2007, 320 S., 29.90 EUR, br., ISBN 978-3-8258-0468-8 This book is a collection of Policy Briefs on the issue of reconstructing economic governance in resource-rich African countries. This is the first book that covers this particular issue. Many researches have been undertaken on the causes of conflict and violence in resource-rich African countries, but the particular point in this book is how to manage the economic affairs in these countries for the benefit of the people and on a long-term and sustainable basis. The term good economic governance is used for this type of management, and we have applied the concept to a number of African countries that are richly endowed with natural resources and have suffered from various forms and intensities of conflict. |
