The field of Development Economics (DE) has overstretched over time with risks of becoming shallow and vague, calling for a need for compartmentalization that allows for simplification, oversight, control, productivity and effective use. This volume is a handbook in development economics with a compartmentalized perspective. It makes use of case study applications, both recent and over the last few decades . The book identifies and works its way out along six development regions, organised into 20 chapters spread across five parts.The first part, consisting of two chapters, displays structural/system changes in the development regions, examines institutions that discourage/promote/development, and applies institutional modelling to related case studies of land reform in India and Chile.The second part, consisting of two chapters, takes the courageous step of discussing, posting and measuring the development goals in a combined index of the primary goals of growth with redistribution, and analysing the trade-offs for major countries in the six development regions. Secondary goals relating to employment and wellbeing are important but they correlate with the primary goals, and are put aside and considered as conditional.The third part, consisting of eight chapters, contains applications at the multi sector developmental and policies level, and touches on the Social Accounting Matrix and related economy wide modelling, allowing for the highlighting of alternative policies to achieve the development goals of growth and redistribution in Pakistan, Indonesia, Korea, UAE, Nepal, Sudan, Suriname and other countries.The fourth part, consisting of six chapters, examines human resource development and policies in the areas of labor market information systems, labor market adjustments, manpower forecasts, earnings profiles, educational plans, and intergenerational mobility, with case studies relate to Pakistan, Indonesia, Colombia, Korea, Ethiopia.The fifth and final part, consisting of two chapters, focuses on world development and global governance; in particular the increasing dominance of the development regions in the world economy, the consequences for world governance, the evaluation of the G-20, and a proposed more representative G-16.
