The task of growing investment and consumption in underdeveloped countries requires a multidisciplinary effort. Doing Projects focuses on one aspect of this intersection of politics and public investment: the development project. With seven sample projects from Barbados as context, the book analyzes the complex factors that affect the success of public sector management in developing countries. The authors consider the realities of the project cycle, highlighting the central role of the public sector in a nation's infrastructure. Of interest to policy makers as well as students of economics and international politics, this book is a much-needed glimpse into the reality of economic projects.
