These seven general thematic areas are explored: ? Leadership, governance, policy and strategy ? Public sector and public financial management ? Culture, institutions and people ? Natural resources ? Science, technology and infrastructure ? Private sector and financial markets ? Marketing, branding and service delivery This thematic approach enables the contributors to explore the impact of the constituents of each subject area on national development, within the context of a developing economy. The significance of the findings for the relevant stakeholders is consequently reviewed. The combination of theory and practice makes the book and its contents unique.
