Review

"By emphasizing a close link between development theory and the actual practice of economic policymaking, Rapley grounds the discussion in a way that will be much appreciated by both students and their instructors.... [Rapley] writes with a rare clarity." - Bruce E. Moon, American Political Science Review "Dr. Rapley makes clear the many connections between economics and politics... worthwhile and enjoyable reading!" - Kay Knickrehm
