The Political Economy of Social Policy and Social Security in Sub-Saharan Africa
"The book addresses the seemingly intractable economic problems of the African continent, and traces their origins. It also brings out the instances of successful economic change, and the possibilities for economic revival and renewal. As well as surveying the variety of contemporary situations, the text will provide readers with a firm grasp of the historical background to the topic. It explores issues such as:
- employment and poverty
- social policy and security
- structural adjustment programs and neo-liberal globalization
- majority rule and democratization
- taxation and resource mobilization.
It contains a selection of country specific case studies from a range of international contributors, many of whom have lived and worked in Africa." WIEGO's Francie Lund explores the political economy of social policy in this book chapter.
