This book is one-of-a-kind in that it collects, organises, and synthesises research on economic growth at the community level throughout the developing world, drawing on diverse disciplines, publications, methodology, regions, and countries. Part I presents an introduction and historical backdrop of the numerous issues facing the developing world today, as well as the frequently heated discussions about what "development" is and how to achieve it.
