This book celebrates the modern relevance of one of the founding fathers of development economics, Kurt Martin. His thoughts, drawn from the central conflict of the 20th century between collective action and individual enterprise, have influenced a generation of scholars at one of Europe's foremost development studies faculties, the Institute of Social Studies (ISS) in The Hague. In this tribute to Kurt Martin, leading world thinkers, including Richard Nelson, Jose Antonio Ocampo, Frances Stewart, and Ben Ndulu, discuss the role of social institutions in economic development. They are complemented by leading ISS faculty, all contributing to the debate that will define the policy research agenda well into the next decade. This is a text for economic scholars, postgraduate students and development practitioners alike.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Jan Pronk The role of institutions in economic development has been debated at length. It is a major chapter in the history of economic thought. It was also a key - sue in comparisons of the effectiveness of Eastern and Western economic systems. Understanding the variety of social and cultural institutions has - ways been crucial in analysing development processes in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. Less attention has been given to institutions in studies of the economic performance of Western countries. This may be because economic policies in the West were mostly oriented to the short and medium terms rather than to the long-term perspective. In the short run ins- tutions are given, in the long run they lend themselves for change. From the outset, economic institutions (e.g. markets, enterprises) and their underlying values (e.g. efficiency, economicfreedom) received much - tention. Similar attention was given to political institutions (the state, government, the law) and values (democracy, accountability, human rights). Thought also turned to social institutions (entrepreneurship, the middle class, the family household, land-tenure systems) and social values (tradition, gender and age relations, justice). Studies soon followed of cultural insti- tions (religion, ethnicity) and values (material consumerism or the bond between man and nature). Without the insight gained by studying insti- tions, economics would have become a dull discipline. Seller Inventory # 9781402008948
