Cette série consacrée à la décentralisation en Afrique de l’Ouest et à ses effets au niveau local, territorial et national, montre comment acteurs de tous bords et de tous niveaux impliqués dans un processus général peuvent participer à la relance de l’économie. À partir d’une démarche analytique et pragmatique basée sur des cas concrets (phase d’étude, une phase de dialogue social et de concertation, et une phase de promotion économique et de relance des activités), la décentralisation est étudiée au travers d’une soixantaine de documents téléchargeables. Véritable rupture par rapport aux pratiques du passé, la décentralisation en Afrique de l’Ouest a été étudiée dès 1977 sous l’égide du programme ECOLOC (« Relance des économies locales en Afrique de l’Ouest »).

Why isn't the whole world as rich as the United States? Conventional views holds that differences in the share of output invested by countries account for this disparity. Not so, say Stephen Parente and Edward Prescott. In Barriers to Riches, Parente and Prescott argue that differences in Total Factor Productivity (TFP) explain this phenomenon. These differences exist because some countries erect barriers to the efficient use of readily available technology. The purpose of these barriers is to protect industry insiders with vested interests in current production processes from outside competition. Were this protection stopped, rapid TFP growth would follow in the poor countries, and the whole world would soon be rich. Barriers to Riches reflects a decade of research by the authors on this question. Like other books on the subject, it makes use of historical examples and industry studies to illuminate potential explanations for income differences. Unlike these other books, however, it uses aggregate data and general equilibrium models to evaluate the plausibility of alternative explanations. The result of this approach is the most complete and coherent treatment of the subject to date.

To date, the record of economic transition has decidedly been mixed. The worldwide political climate is still in favor of economic reform and the process continues to have considerable momentum. On the other hand, this process now faces a number of formidable obstacles. There appears to be general agreement that in many countries the promise of a better standard of living which economic transition offers to the mass of the citizenry has failed to produce the rapid and dramatic results hoped for. There is an increasing conflict of interest between multinational firms and the national business
