{"product_id":"ethnic-diversity-and-economic-instability-in-africa-9781107025998","title":"Ethnic Diversity and Economic Instability in Africa","description":"There is growing consensus in the development economics literature that ethnic diversity is a very significant factor in explaining Africa's poor economic performance. Ethnic Diversity and Economic Instability in Africa challenges this conventional wisdom. Drawing on the insights of historians, anthropologists and political scientists as well as development economists, this book questions whether ethnicity is the most useful organising principle by which to examine the economic development of Africa, arguing that it is a more fluid and contingent concept than economic models allow. Instead, the authors explore the actual experience of ethnicity in Africa and propose new methods of measuring ethnic diversity and inequalities. Finally some tentative conclusions are reached regarding appropriate policy reforms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hiroyuki Hino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107025998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHino, Hiroyuki:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Hiroyuki Hino is Economic Adviser to the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kenya.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLonsdale, John:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - John Lonsdale is Fellow of Trinity College and Professor Emeritus of Modern African History at the University of Cambridge.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRanis, Gustav:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Gustav Ranis is Frank Altschul Professor Emeritus of International Economics at Yale University.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44115519602803,"sku":"9.78111E+12","price":132.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_efd79e9b-f882-42c4-8245-b5b822b5a499.jpg?v=1764248877","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/ethnic-diversity-and-economic-instability-in-africa-9781107025998","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
