Soludo.   aOttawa, Ont.bInternational Development Research Centrecc1999.   a1 online resource (xiv, 176 p.)bill.  aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 145-153) and index.   aOur Continent, Our Future presents the emerging African perspective on this complex issue. The authors use as background their own extensive experience and a collection of 30 individual studies, 25 of which were from African economists, to summarize t his African perspective and articulate a path for the future. They underscore the need to be sensitive to each country's unique history and current condition. They argue for a broader policy agenda and for a much more active role for the state within what is largely a market economy. Finally, they stress that Africa must, and can, compete in an increasingly globalized world and, perhaps most importantly, that Africans must assume the leading role in defining the continent's development agenda. 0aStructural adjustment (Economic policy)zAfrica. 4aElectronic books. 6aAjustement structurel (âEconomie)zAfrique. 0aAfricaxEconomic conditionsy1960- 0aAfricaxEconomic policy. 6aAfriquexConditions âeconomiquesy1960- 6aAfriquexPolitique âeconomique.
