Publisher's Synopsis
Development finance has steadily established itself as an area in its own right, branching off from the disciplines of finance and development economics. This Handbook provides an up-to-date, comprehensive overview of the key areas in development finance, blending the latest insights from academic research with developments at the policy level. The editors have assembled a diverse international group of contributors to write chapters on their areas of expertise, creating a strong and cutting-edge volume which is organised in seven thematic sections. The book takes a global approach, considering international and national development finance policy and practice, and also draws on experiences across locations in order to explore sustainable development initiatives in the global South.
The Routledge Handbook of Development Finance will be essential reading for advanced students, researchers and professionals in development finance, development economics and development policy.
