520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. This book argues that development strategies have thus far failed in Western Africa because the many challenges afflicting the area have ye t to be explored and understood from the perspective of institutional r esources. With a particular focus on three countries on the bend of the Upper West African coast - Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone - this boo k offers a theory to account for the nature of these institutional elem ents, to test deductions against evidence, and finally to propose a res et for rural development policy to make fuller use of local institution al resources. Based on quantitative analysis and eight years of multidi sciplinary field research, this volume features several large-scale RCT s in the domain of rural development, local governance, and nature cons ervation. The authors address one of the biggest topics in agricultural and development economics today: the structural transformation of poor , agrarian economies, and they do so through the important and unique l ens of institutions.
