Leading issues in economic development studies in international poverty

Long the standard in its field, this distinctive book for courses in economic development now reflects fresh thinking on changes in the subject and on new problems confronting the development community. Meier selects the most insightful readings from a variety of sources, integrates them into a topical structure, and deftly brings them together with his own explanatory sections. Providing a wide range of viewpoints not found in the ordinary textbook, this edition also includes readings on new growth theory, new institutional economics and problems of imperfect information and incomplete markets, the environment, issues of gender, recent experience with policy reform, and political economy as related to government failure. The emphasis throughout is on fundamental analytical principles and on empirical relationships within the main theme of how to improve the future quality of development policy making.

  • "Completely revised and updated, the latest edition of Leading Issues in Economic Development presents a more concise view of development economics, without sacrificing the variety of viewpoints and perspectives that have made previous editions so popular. With a broad range of theoretical, applied, and policy materials, the new edition incorporates many new topics, including the heterogeneity of developing countries and their differing rates of performance, the neoclassical resurgence, organizational dualism, imperfect information and incomplete markets, financial reform, liberalization programs, external debt and country risk analysis, the new export pessimism, microeconomics of the rural sector, food policy, and the new political economy. Most of the selections are new, new notes have been added and former notes revised, new comments are introduced to illuminate special topics, and new exhibits offer empirical illustrations. Finally, throughout the Fifth Edition there is a concentration on fundamental analytical principles and empirical relationships."
