Innovating Development Strategies in AfricaThe Role of International, Regional and National Actors\nAuthor(s): Landry Sign\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Cambridge University Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Cambridge University Press\nISBN-13: 9781316625620, 978-1316625620\nSynopsis\nDuring the second half of the twentieth century, African states shifted away from state-led development strategies, and are now moving towards a strategy of regional economic integration. In this book, Landry Sign explores the key drivers of African policy and economic transformation, proposing a preeminent explanation of policy innovations in Africa through the examination of postcolonial strategies for economic development. Scholars and practitioners in fields as varied as development studies, political science and public policy, economics, sociology and African studies will benefit from Sign's unprecedented comparative analysis, including detailed cases from the often understudied Francophone Africa. .
