This book gives an insight into major development issues, such as the contribution of aid to economic growth of developing countries and the effect of globalization on the fight against poverty. It also considers the role of the state and the market in development and the institutional dimension of economic growth.

Peter de Haan is a development economist. He started his career with UNDP's regional programme for the Pacific, and is currently working at the Dutch embassy in La Paz as senior Governance specialist. The author has worked in many developing and transition countries in Asia, Latin America, Africa and Eastern Europe. Hence, he has hands-on experience of the trials and tribulations the majority developing countries face in the process of development.
