The Oxford Handbook of Structural Transformation addresses the
economics of structural transformation around the world. It deals
with major themes, which include history and context, critical
issues and concepts, methodological foundations, main theoretical
approaches, policy issues, some illuminating country experiences of
structural transformation, and important debates on the respective
roles of the market and the state in that process. The historical
record provides a challenge for economists to understand the
success of the rising economic powers (some of them initially
considered unlikely candidates for prosperity) and the stagnation
or decline of others. Five major questions emerge: * Why has so
much divergence occurred among nations of the world since the
Industrial Revolution, and particularly during the 20th century? *
Why has the pattern changed recently with the emergence of a few
developing economies (e.g. the multi-polar world), and can it be
sustained? * What are the key drivers, strategies, and policies, to
foster structural transformation in various different country
contexts and in a constantly evolving global economy? * How could
low- and middle-income countries avoid development traps and learn
from past experiences whilst exploiting the new opportunities
offered by the Fourth Industrial Revolution? * What is the role of
various development stakeholders and other important players in
facilitating sustained economic convergence among nations? This
book addresses these questions, bringing the rigor, usefulness, and
multi-disciplinary scope of the Oxford Handbook series to a
critical topic in economics. The Oxford Handbook of Structural
Transformation is an essential reference work and a stimulus to new
research and creativity across all branches of the social sciences.
