Description
"Telecommunications restructurings are now seen as important barometers in the shift among developing countries toward market-based economies. They are often posited as helping developing countries "leapfrog," or accelerate their pace of development, and "connect" with the world economy. Leapfrogging Development? shows that most states in developing countries are unable to resolve the myriad pressures they face in restructuring important sectors like telecommunications to effect accelerated or "leapfrogging" development."--BOOK JACKET. "After examining seven cases (Singapore, South Korea, Mexico, Malaysia, China, Brazil, Myanmar), the book examines India as in in-depth "crucial case." Leapfrogging Development? proposes a unique framework that shows how groups and coalitions articulate development preferences and how, in response, different types of states respond to or shape these preferences."--BOOK JACKET.
