| Summary |
After a decade of promising growth, the series of economic global crises since 2007 threaten to reverse the progress achieved in Africa during its recovery. The food crisis has raised concerns about the capacity of Africa to feed its people and escape the cycle of poverty. Hunger and Democracy examines the plight of Sub-Sahara Africa and looks to find a collaborative strategy to overcome the looming crisis. Professor Bigman's study makes a fascinating contribution to help us understand the obstacles, challenges and possible solutions to the eradication of poverty and hunger in Africa. The volume develops a comprehensive agenda to travel the long road towards institutional and policy reforms that will bring Africa closer to meeting the Millennium Development Goals. This book is indispensable reading for all interested in African studies and development economics |
