The book explores the evolving trade dynamics between China, India, and Africa, emphasizing that their South-South commerce transcends mere natural resource extraction. It highlights Africa's potential to transform into a processor of commodities and a competitive supplier of goods and services, marking a significant shift from traditional North-South trade relationships. This analysis sheds light on the broader implications for Africa's economic development and its role in the global market.

After the 1998 Russian economic crisis, there are new opportunities for sustained growth in many countries of the former Soviet Union. Against this backdrop, the authors of this book analyze the dynamics of macroeconomic and structural developments in Eastern Europe and Russia, with special attention paid to problems of international and national integration, "Dutch disease" and natural resource dependency, and distortions in institutional reforms. The analysis also sheds light on how these problems have implications for cooperation among OECD-countries. A critical focus is on institutional adjustment and learning, human capital formation, trade and foreign investment. The political economy challenges of stability and growth in the region are highlighted. New empirical findings and comparative policy analysis - including in the field of natural resource policy - are major elements in this publication.
