Description
For this Handbook authors known to have different views regarding the nature of development economics have been selected. The Handbook
is organised around the implications of different sets of assumptions and their associated research programs. It is divided into three
volumes, each with three parts which focus on the broad processes of development.
Volume 1 of the Handbook begins by discussing the
concept of development, its historical antecedents, and alternative approaches to the study of development, broadly construed. The second
part is devoted to the structural transformation of economies. The role that human resources play in economic development is the focus
of the last section of this volume.
