World Development Report 1987 (World Bank Development Report)

Recognized as an indispensable resource for policy makers, economists, journalists, and professionals of all kinds, the World Development Report continues to survey and synthesize contemporary economic issues in developed and developing countries. The newest edition focuses on industrialization and foreign trade, providing an incisive look at how trade policies have influenced industrialization and why some countries have succeeded at trade liberalization while others have failed. With invaluable World Development Indicators for over 128 countries and numerous charts, tables, graphs, and case studies, this is the authoritative source for up-to-date information on the world's economy.

The World Development Report is recognized internationally as essential reading for economists, planners and policy-makers, bankers and business people, journalists, and development professionals of all kinds.

World Development Report 1988

Now in its twelfth annual edition, the World Development Report is an essential reference on the world economy and the state of social and economic development. Like earlier editions, the 1989 Report incorporates research from all over the world, analyzing the conditions that surround the growth process and offering insights on appropriate policy measures for the future. Focusing on the decline of foreign investment since the early 1980s, and showing how Third World nations have been left more than ever to rely on their own resources for continuing development, the 1989 Report analyzes the roots of financial-sector weakness in the Third World and discusses methods for strengthening domestic financial systems so that they may better perform their growth-facilitating role. With its timely survey and synthesis of contemporary economic issues around the world, the World Development Report is invaluable in a variety of courses, particularly those in economic development, international economics, and international politics.
