Books by Geske Dijkstra

This book explores whether the Sandinista 'mixed economy'¿a 'transitional' mixed economy¿could have been stable if the Sandinistas had been able to pursue their industrialization strategy for a longer period of time. It explains why Nicaragua's mixed economy was stable for almost eleven years.

Using real world examples from countries such as Nicaragua, Tanzania and Vietnam this important contribution to the literature on development economics analyses the effectiveness of programme aid.
