Dead Ends of Transition Rentier Economies And Protectorates

After war, many countries, such as Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, or Iraq, the transition to a democratic market economy extremely difficult. This failure to thrive, Dead Ends of Transition demonstrates, is often the result of national reliance on foreign aid. Rentier states, the contributors to this study argue, have few incentives to respond to the needs of their societies. Taking a closer look at the policies of rentier economies, this book further identifies new ways in which these countries and their international partners could work together to ease the critical transition to democracy.Dauderstadt, Michael is the author of 'Dead Ends of Transition Rentier Economies And Protectorates', published 2006 under ISBN 9783593381541 and ISBN 3593381540.
