Nova Science staff editor Rocha has assembled these research papers on the emerging field of development economics, which studies the methods for promoting growth within developing countries while addressing the rapid changes in the standard of living. Noting how recent advances in communication and technology have forced many Third World countries to sink or swim, contributors all of the world examine the socioeconomic infrastructures of regions such as Nepal, Papua New Guinea and Korea, and how the governments have adapted to both modern and historic economic challenges. These densely-written essays have a high level of statistical content and are aimed at students and fellow researchers in development economics.
