Industrialization in West Africa Hardback

Part of the Routledge Revivals series

Hardback

Description

First published in 1984, Industrialization in West Africa is an authoritative text on the industrial development efforts, spatial characteristics and related problems of countries comprising the West African region.

The book commences with a detailed description of the political and economic background against which the slow and unsteady pace of industrialization in each country can be appreciated.

The analysis outlines the resource potential and historical evolution and structural characteristics of modern manufacturing in the region.

The final section assesses the spatial characteristics of West African industrialization, the major problems inhibiting industrial development and frustrating efforts towards economic independence by each country.

In conclusion the author considers remedial policy options open to West African countries, both individually and in a common market framework.

This book is a valuable source material for all students of social science, geography, economics and regional planning.
