Abstract

This introductory chapter summarizes the papers in this book. It shows that the topics covered by experts in their respective fields are engaging, provocative, timely, and critical as they address an emerging theme in development. The analyses provide cutting-edge knowledge about the extent to which capital from BRICS versus OECD member countries impacts Africa’s development trajectory and, as such, offers a contribution that is yet to take root in development economics. It further explicates current issues in ways that question the status quo and offers practical policies for a transformed and thriving Africa. The topics explored have particular resonance with, and relevance to, the changes currently taking place in Africa.
