The Political Economy of Risk and Choice in Senegal / Edition 1

by John Waterbury

Overview

First Published in 1987. The Political Economy of Risk and Choice in Senegal grows out of the efforts and concerns of many people and institutions. The Ministry of Plan in the Government of Senegal and the United States Agency for International Development Dakar called on the Research Program in Development Studies of the Woodrow Wilson School to address Senegal’s rural development problems in the light of RPDS experience doing policy relevant research in African countries. RPDS worked closely with the Ministry of Plan and USAID, Dakar on this effort from 1982 to 1984. The chapters in this study take as their common theme the analysis of risk in agricultural production, management, and policy implementation in Senegal.
