Through comparative studies of aid supported infrastructure
projects in East Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, the book examines how
aid could assist development processes by facilitating development
of local endogenous institutions, which are both pro-growth and
pro-poor. Applying comparative institutional analyses based on the
concept of endogenous institutions and institutional changes, and
exploring the model of 'development cooperation', the book examines
aid effectiveness in a broader context of institution development
in the two regions. It offers a new perspective on the
institutions-development nexus, alternative to the conventional one
with its emphasis of an inevitable institutional convergence to a
monolithic universal model. It argues that socially and politically
sustainable development involves institutional innovation by
developing endogenous institutions, firmly embedded in a local
social-political system. The book offers policy lessons from the
East Asian experiences with aid-supported infrastructure projects
to governments in sub-Saharan Africa, the international aid
community, including emerging development partners.

Asia is widely regarded as having benefited most from the dynamic
growth effect of the recent wave of globalization. By examining
mechanisms at work in the globalization-poverty nexus through
specific case studies reflecting different settings, the book seeks
to find ways to rediscover and resume a pattern of shared growth in
Asia

This book examines the various channels and transmission
mechanisms, such as greater openness to trade and foreign
investment, economic growth, effects on income distribution,
technology transfer and labour migration through which the process
of globalization affects different dimensions of poverty in the
developing world.
While the economic opportunities offered by globalization can be
large, a question is often raised as to whether the actual
distribution of gains is fair, in particular, whether the poor
benefit less than proportionately from globalization and could
under some circumstances be hurt by it. This book examines the
various channels and transmission mechanisms, such as greater
openness to trade and foreign investment, economic growth, effects
on income distribution, technology transfer and labour migration
through which the process of globalization affects different
dimensions of poverty in the developing world.
