| Abstract: | Intro: "The recent optimistic picture of Africa’s economic development is being undermined by the global economic crisis. Although the initial effects of the crisis were slow to materialize in Africa, its impact is now being felt throughout the continent; this chapter considers the impact on four African countries. Because their competitiveness is still lagging behind that of other regions, most African countries will find it more difficult than others to cope with external shocks." |
