Reviews
"This book makes an immense contribution to the scholarship in public management policies and their
implications for sustainable development policies and programs. It should therefore be of interest to
students of Public Administration, Development Studies, International Studies, Political Science, African Studies, Social and Political Philosophy, and Philosophy of Development as well as governmental agencies and NGO's. I highly recommend it for faculty and students in any of these disciplines and similar ones as well as researchers involved with Africa and Third World development in general."
-Prof. Joseph Osei, Department of Government and History, Fayetteville State University
From the Foreword
“Mushi’s and Mongkuo’s book is a major contribution to scholarship in the economic growth and human development outcomes of government intervention reform through privatization in developing countries. If the findings presented by the authors are indicative of the “true” impact of privatization in developing countries, then I can safely say that privatized management strategy does indeed matter in a developing country setting. And hence, there is no need to reform the reform. But as Mushi and Mongkuo said, such conclusion may be pre-mature at this point given the limited studies on the subject matter. This well-written and well-documented book significantly advance our understanding of this vital subject and open the floodgate for extensive research and inquiry into this subject for many decades to come”
