Supporting Inclusive Growth and Sustainable Development in Africa - Volume I, 1st ed. 2020 Sustainability in Infrastructure Development
Coordonnateurs : Popkova Elena G., Sergi Bruno S., Haabazoka Lubinda, Ragulina Julia V.
This edited volume explores and dissects Africa's economic growth and sustainable development using an optimal conceptual model of the progressive continent's development up to and until 2030. Africa is studied not against the background of developed (OECD) and leading developing (e.g. BRICS) countries, but as a separate economy and as a self-sufficient region which follows its own priorities, and implements its own unique opportunities and vectors of growth and development. This first volume addresses the contemporary and topical issues of inclusive growth, digital modernisation, and sustainable development, recommending policy outcomes for the future.
