No Miracle examines the role of institutions in bridging the
'digital divide' between rich and poor nations and what that means
for the country's integration into a global economy. Shifting the
debate from whether institutions are important to economic
development to which institutions are important and how to build
them, Mitchell Wigdor expertly addresses fundamental shortcomings
in the existing development literature by identifying specific
institutions that mediate the relationship between Information and
Communications Technology (ICT) and economic growth. In doing so he
challenges those concerned with development to shift their gaze
from whether institutions are important to economic development to
which institutions might be the focus of government efforts and how
to build them. Detailed case studies of the economic development
strategies of Singapore and Malaysia from 1960 demonstrate that
institution-building and economic development may be as much about
process as the specific policies governments pursue. Written in
accessible, non-technical, language this book should be read by
everyone concerned with economic growth both in less economically
developed countries and the more prosperous including those in
government, international organizations, NGOs, universities, policy
makers and the private sector.
