Review from previous edition The analysis in the book is unique. It is grounded in economic theory and history and is not confined to a chronological narration of events or regression analysis-oriented conclusions Nayyar's well-researched and readable book make it essential reading for students, academics, and policy-makers not only in developing countries but also in the developed countries and international institutions.
