Essama-Nssah... [et al.]1 a"Africa at a Turning Point? is a collection of essays that analyzes three interrelated aspects of Africa's recent revival. The first set of essays examines Africa's recent growth in the context of its history of growth accelerations and collapses. It seeks to answer such questions as. Is Africa at a turning point? Are the economic fundamentals finally pointing toward more sustainable growth? The second set of essays looks at donor flows, which play a large role in Africa's growth. These essays focus on such issues as the management and delivery of increased aid, and the history and volatility of donor flows to Africa. The third set of essays considers the recent impact of one persistent threat to sustained growth in Africa: commodity price shocks, particularly those resulting from fluctuations in oil prices."--BOOK JACKET.  aElectronic reproduction.b[Washington, D.C.] :cWorld Bank Group,d[200-].nSystem requirements: Adobe Acrobat reader.nMode of access: World Wide Web.nAvailable to subscribing institutions. 0aEconomic developmentzAfrica, Sub-SaharanvStatistics. 0aEconomic forecastingzAfrica, Sub-Saharan. 0aEconomic stabilizationzAfrica, Sub-Saharan. 0aAfrica, Sub-SaharanxEconomic conditionsy21st centuryvStatistics. 0aDesarrollo económicozAfrica, Sur del SaharavEstadísticas 0aRelaciones económicaszAfrica,  Sur del Sahara 0aEstabilidad económicazAfrica,  Sur del Sahara 4aAfrica,  Sur del SaharaxCondición económicaySiglo XXIvEstadísticas1 aGo, Delfin S.1 aPage, John M.,d1949-
