Alternative strategies for economic development create great controversy and intense debate among practitioners and academics concerned with economic and social progress in the third world. The core of the book analyzes the six most widely adopted strategies of development, namely, monetarism, the open economy, industrialization, the green revolution or agriculture-led develop-ment, redistributive strategies of development and socialist strategies. The strengths and weaknesses of each strategy are assessed and then compared. Evaluation of the strategies is based on their performance as regards resource utilization and the level of income; savings, investment and growth; human capital formation; poverty and inequality; the role of the state; and participation, democracy and freedom. The book contains a blend of economic theory, statistical evidence and numerous country case studies. The focus is on government policy and the implications of alternative policy approaches for material betterment and social equity in the Third World. This new edition opens with a new introduction discussing the human development strategy, the economic transition paths followed in the ex-socialist countries and the impact of globalization on development.

Studies in Development Strategy and Systemic Transformation examines many of the leading issues in economic development. In Part I, Professor Griffin analyses strategic visions: the role of culture in long-term economic growth; globalization and its implications for the territorial state and global governance; the human development strategy; and the effects of the distribution of productive assets on the pace of development. Part II is concerned with systemic transformation and macroeconomic reform. Alternative reform strategies are analysed for countries trying to effect a transition from centrally-planned to market-oriented economies. Shock therapy is severely criticized. An alternative approach to macroeconomic reform also is presented for sub-Saharan Africa, in which emphasis is placed on an investment-led strategy of structural development. A separate chapter is devoted to how an investment-led strategy could be financed with domestic resources alone. Part III contains three case studies of low-income transition economies, two of which are examples of success (Vietnam and China) and one an example of failure (Kazakhstan).
