The Bottom Billion: Why the Poorest Countries are Failing and What Can Be Done About It

The Bottom Billion: Why the Poorest Countries are Failing and What Can Be Done About It

Paul Collier

In dem allseits gefeierten und preisgekrönten Werk „The Bottom Billion“ enthüllt Paul Collier, dass fünfzig gescheiterte Staaten – Heimat der ärmsten Milliarde Menschen auf der Erde – die zentrale Herausforderung für die Entwicklungsländer im 21. Jahrhund

Das Buch wirft das dringend benötigte Licht auf diese Gruppe kleiner Nationen, die vom industrialisierten Westen weitgehend unbemerkt bleiben und immer weiter hinter die Mehrheit der Weltbevölkerung zurückfallen und oft in einen absoluten Rückgang des Lebensstandards geraten. In jedem dieser Länder tobt ein Kampf zwischen Reformern und korrupten Führern, und die Korrupten gewinnen. Collier analysiert die Ursachen des Scheiterns und weist auf eine Reihe von Fallen hin, in denen diese Länder stecken, darunter Bürgerkrieg, Abhängigkeit von der Gewinnung und Ausfuhr natürlicher Ressourcen und schlechte Regierungsführung.
