Recent discussions of the \u27Chinese economic development model\u27, the emergence of an alternative \u27Muslim model\u27 over the past quarter century and the faltering globalisation of the \u27Washington Consensus\u27 all point to the need to investigate more systematically the nature of these models and their competitive attractions.
This is especially the case in the Muslim world which both spans different economic and geographic categories and is itself the progenitor of a development model.
The \u27Chinese model\u27 has attracted the greatest attention in step with that country\u27s phenomenal growth and therefore provides the primary focus for this book. This volume examines the characteristics of this model and its reception in two major regions of the world - Africa and Latin America.
It also investigates the current competition over development models across Muslim contexts. The question of which model or models, if any, will guide development in Muslim majority countries is vital not only for them, but for the world as a whole. This is the first political economy study to address this vital question as well as the closely related issue of the centrality of governance to development.https://ecommons.aku.edu/uk_ismc_series_emc/1003/thumbnail.jp
