Reviews

'As African policy-makers move from dependency models to challenging the North at its own game, this welcome introduction to the controversies of Africa's New Partnership for Economic Development constitutes a comprehensive overview of the new dialectics of African political economy. In so doing, its transcendence of the discourse of tragedy and the binaries of pessimism and optimism challenges the academic world to take a similar paradigmatic shift.' David Moore, University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa 'This book is a must-read for academics, NGOs, institutions, government officials and anyone wanting to understand the African moment and begin to imagine a different African future.' New Agenda
