BISAC: BUS069000

It has been established long ago that unrestricted economic growth is not a sufficient condition for the overall advancement of nations. With this in mind, we must switch our priorities to development. Development is a much wider concept than growth; it stimulates the social and political advancement of countries. Unfortunately, the identification and analysis of these sociopolitical transformations is associated with major difficulties. However, this problem should not hinder policymakers and academic researchers’ concern for the social and political dimensions of development. This book focuses on the reality that a balanced, sustainable, overall development of nations will overcome the various problems that humanity faces today.
