Institutions, Globalisation and Empowerment

Edited by Kartik Roy and Jörn Sideras

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This book argues that the capacity of a country to develop, and the levels of economic and social development achieved, depend more on the institutional parameters within which the development policies are implemented than on the policies themselves. It contends that forces of globalisation influence individual countries’ economic and social institutions.
