Second Generation Reforms : What Is To Be Done? Book

An elegant, insightful, and extremely effective volume brings to the fore some of the critical issues of economic reforms which are advocated on the grounds of economic growth and employment, alleviation of poverty and inequality, enhancement of efficiency, desired transparency, increasing accountability, avoiding discrimination on the provision of public goods in ethnically fragmented localities, promotion of participatory programme for sustainable development in natural resource management, preserving economic value of cultural resources, increasing outreach in the public works programme, bringing in reform in labor legislation, and building up macroeconomic stability and financial discipline in the developing economies. Each topic poses a policy question and presents appropriate theoretical and /or empirical method for its systematic exposition. This book would provide invaluable insights to academicians, students, researchers, practitioners and policy makers interested in development, in addition to being a book for teaching students, particularly, in developing economies.
