Studies of African economic development frequently focus on the
daunting challenges the continent faces. From recurrent crises to
ethnic conflicts and long-standing corruption, a raft of
deep-rooted problems has led many to regard the continent as facing
many hurdles to raise living standards. Yet Africa has made
considerable progress in the past decade, with a GDP growth rate
exceeding five percent in some regions. The African Successes
series looks at recent improvements in living standards and other
measures of development in many African countries with an eye
toward identifying what shaped them and the extent to which lessons
learned are transferable and can guide policy in other nations and
at the international level. The fourth volume in the series,
African Successes: Sustainable Growth combines informative case
studies with careful empirical analysis to consider the prospects
for future African growth.
