 ‘Unlocking Development’ tackles the challenge of sustaining economic growth in poorer countries. Over three distinct chapters, the authors argue that the world’s poor are ‘trapped’ and investigate what can be done:

• To promote the rule of law in order to make economic growth more stable and sustainable;

• To enhance the capacity of the business organizations that are most likely to attract investment and create jobs; and,

• To enable women to play a full part in economic development as citizens, providers, and entrepreneurs.
