How do you measure the progress countries are making in economic
development? Should measurements focus on per capita income or
output? Or should assessments also consider education, health, a
clean environment, or a participatory political system? These
questions have vexed national leaders, international donor
agencies, and development practitioners for decades. This book was
conceived to address the lack of definitive, comprehensive measures
of development among policymakers, economists, and other social
scientists. It presents a unique and innovative measurement system
for country progress in six aspects of development: economic
performance, competitiveness, education, health, environment, and
democracy and freedom. The authors scored over 100 countries
individually and plotted their development performance along six
vectors, allowing them to be benchmarked against one another. They
illustrate at a glance whether the country's development is
balanced and allows the country's progress to be monitored over
time. This book presents the conceptual framework supporting a
Development Web model, the scoring systems, as well as 100
individual Country Development Webs accompanied by discussions of
their scores and country conditions. Copublished with SRI
