About the blog

This blog has two parts (at least for now). One presents my reviews on books and publications on development in the developing world. The focus is on development economics but other fields (political science, public management theory, etc.) are also explored. The other (called “African stories”) presents thoughts and vignettes on particular development issues in Africa where I have spent the past 10 years).

I hope you will find this blog informative and useful. I would certainly enjoy feedback and criticism (positive or otherwise), which I believe to be a critical condition for getting closer to the truth.
