Auty focuses on economic development and the resource curse thesis. Mark Robinson addresses aid, democracy, and political conditionality in sub-Saharan Africa. Carolyn Jenkins considers adjusting to economic sanctions in South Africa. Alexandre Rands Barros presents a structuralist evaluation of the U.S. initiatives for trade liberalization within the Americas.
