Growth, Development, and the Service Economy in the Third World

This volume examines the role that the service economy can play in those third world countries lacking in traditional manufacturing industries. Analyzing service industries in third world economies, the author has put together the first work on this important world-wide economic trend. Professionals and academics in the fields of economics–political, developmental, labor, industrial and third world–will gain an understanding of how services provide developmental opportunities in third world host nations, and at the same time link those nations more closely to the international economy.
