Development Financingtackles the complicated subject of how to aid and finance the development of LEDCs. The problem, according to the writers, has not been whether or not to negotiate, but rather where and what should be negotiated when it came to tackling third world debt. As the debate reaches a stand-off between the more economically developed and less economically developed countries, this book offers several sets of perspectives (in a selection of essays) on how to appropriately manage the thorny issues of development financing.
Salah Al-Shaikhlyis the former Iraqi Ambassador to the United Kingdom (2004-2008). Previously he has held several government posts, including Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq (1976).
