Description
Der Übergang zu demokratischen Marktwirtschaften hat sich in vielen Ländern als schwierig herausgestellt, vor allem in Staaten, die von Rohstoffrenten oder ausländischer Hilfe abhängen. In diesem Band werden solche Rentenökonomien und Protektorate in den Blick genommen und Wege aufgezeigt, die es einheimischen und internationalen Akteuren erlauben, aus diesen »Sackgassen der Transformation « herauszufinden.
