Both authoritative and accessible, African Development introduces the issues, actors, and institutions at play in development trajectories across sub-Saharan Africa. This new edition, thoroughly updated, includes an entirely new chapter devoted to key demographic trends in the region, especially rapid urbanization and the distinct “youth bulge.” There is also a review of major democratic gains and disappointments since 2011; analysis of renewed internal armed conflicts; and attention to the contemporary sovereign debt crisis relative to the structural adjustment debt of earlier decades. The book uniquely brings to life the collective impact of history, economics, and politics on development in the region.

Praise for the previous editions:
Thoughtful, well-written, and even the mature scholar of African development will be impressed by its contents.... [This] book leads the student to a deep understanding of the actors at work in Africa's development. (Barry Riddell, Canadian Journal of Development Studies)
Treating both political and economic themes with admirable clarity, [Moss] walks the reader briskly through Africa's colonial legacy, the syndrome of personal rule, the economic liabilities of conflict, and the challenges of democratic reform.... Provides a thorough and critical but fair-minded treatment in a style that is plainspoken and often witty.... An excellent resource. (Peter Lewis, Foreign Affairs)
An excellent introduction to current political and economic issues in Africa.... Highly recommended. (Choice)
