Policy within and Across Developing Nations

Following a tour of developing countries such as Kenya, Malawi, Zambia, Brazil, Panama and Okinawa, this book explores development policy within and across developing countries, and offers some public policy suggestions for improving aid mainly from the United States, but also on the part of other developed countries.

Rather than broad policy suggestions, each section is tailored to the specific requirements of the area in question.

Evidence from Africa showed a need for advice on making better use of mass labour, better planning for the movement from rural areas to urban areas, and more help on techniques for crash programmes to raise literacy.

Ideas based on a tour of China showed a need for systematic policy analysis and governmental decision-making, and pragmatic experimantation, as all developing countries will not suit exactly the same model.
