Non-Traditional Export Promotion In Africa: Experience and Issues
This volume contains original essays by authors who have worked together to derive lessons for African export prospects from the experiences of some of the more successful developing countries in East Asia and Latin America. They present up-to-date data and analysis on non-traditional exporting experience, problems and prospects in a sample of five sub-Saharan African countries.

Economists, mostly from Africa but also developed western countries and Latin America, report the results of the Growth, External Sector and the Role of Non-Traditional Exports in Sub-Saharan Africa research project of the United Nations University. They draw on the experience with diversified exports in other non-industrialized countries, and analyze recent adjustments in Sub-Saharan African countries with a view to identifying key constraints on better non-traditional export performance and policy requirements to overcome them. Case studies are from Kenya, Mauritius, South Africa, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
