| Summary |
In Emerging Issues in Contemporary African Economies, Onyeiwu focuses on how events of the twenty-first century are shaping key sectors of African economies and societies. He argues that while there have been significant improvements in African economies, major challenges still remain. Onyeiwu implicitly adopts an evolutionary methodology that recognizes the capacities of African countries to learn from past policy mistakes, experiment with new policy initiatives, and adapt to evolving economic challenges and opportunities. This great contribution to the literature explores new themes that have become central to the sustainable performance of African economies: the IT revolution, industrial dynamics, innovation and technological change, youth and gender, as well as issues around structural transformation. |
