Summary:

Part of an ongoing series on the economics of developing nations in international contexts, this collection of fifteen articles on the current global economic crisis examines the implications of economic distress in major world powers on developing economies, and explores several areas in which small and large developing nations are negatively affected, as well as possible positive opportunities in the midst of the crisis. Beginning with three essays on historical context, the articles cover topics in finance and trade, technology and innovation, social and employment issues, and illustrative discussions of the effects of the crisis on large and small economies such as South Africa and Jamaica. Contributors are academics and policy professionals from a variety of institutions around the world. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
