Summary:

Papua New Guinea is a complex, rapidly changing nation, where the economy has been profoundly affected by political change. Before independence the economy was largely based on agriculture; since 1975 it has focused on coal production. This book is the first to deal with these changes from an economic perspective. Coming at a time when interest in Southeast Asia is expanding rapidly, and containing a substantial amount of additional information on the controversial subject of Bourgainville, "The Economy Of Papau New Guinea" is an important addition to our well-received Growth Economies in Asia series.
