Description: Trade, Transfers and Development re-appraises development issues in the light of recent and profound changes in international economic relations.

The fragmentation of economic power in the developed world and its consequences for developing countries are examined by an international group of contributors who address issues such as increasing protectionism among nations and trading blocs, the role of institutions in an evolving international economic order, military expenditure and the peace dividend, aid and development, the new role played by Japan in development, and the evolutionary process behind the current notion of human development.

Featuring papers by many internationally renowned researchers, this volume will be welcomed by students and researchers in development economics, political economy and international relations as a readable and accessible study covering many issues of topical interest.
