In it the commission attempted to distill what had been learned in the past two decades, from experience and academic and policy research, about strategies and policies that produced sustained high growth in developing countries. It became clear in the course of the work that politics, leadership, and political economy (the interaction of economic and political forces and choices) were centrally important ingredients in the story. Dealing with the politics and the interaction of political and economic forces is a work in progress in research, an important one. Given this breadth, one of the editors' roles is to focus the reader's attention on what they take to be common issues across these chapters. These common problems are fourfold: (1) promoting national unity; (2) building good, solid institutions; (3) choosing innovative and localized policies; and (4) creating political consensus for long-run policy implementation. This report represent an excellent first step toward understanding the role of leadership in generating economic growth, and the author hope that they generate ideas and lead to new research on the problem of leadership in economic growth.CC BY 3.0 IGOABORTIONAGRICULTURAL POLICIESAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTUREANNUAL GROWTHANNUAL GROWTH RATEASSETSAVERAGE GROWTHAVERAGE INCOMEBASIC EDUCATIONBENCHMARKBPIBRIBEBRIBE PAYERSBRIBE PAYERS INDEXBRIBERYCAPITAL FLIGHTCENTER FOR DEVELOPMENTCENTRAL BANKCHILD MORTALITYCITIZENCITIZENSCIVIL RIGHTSCIVIL SERVANTSCIVIL WARCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECONFIDENCECONSUMERSCORRUPTIONCORRUPTION PERCEPTIONCORRUPTION PERCEPTION INDEXCPICRIMINALDEBTDECENTRALIZATIONDECISION MAKINGDEMOCRACIESDEMOCRACYDEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONSDEMOCRATIC REFORMSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDEVELOPMENT INDICATORSDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESDEVELOPMENT STRATEGYDIETDIVERSIFICATIONDIVIDENDSECONOMIC AFFAIRSECONOMIC CHANGEECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC EMPOWERMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC INSTITUTIONSECONOMIC MODELSECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMIC POLICIESECONOMIC POLICYECONOMIC PROGRESSECONOMIC REFORMECONOMIC REFORMSECONOMIC RELATIONSECONOMIC RESEARCHECONOMIC STAGNATIONECONOMIC STRUCTUREECONOMIC THEORYECONOMIC THOUGHTECONOMICSECONOMIES OF SCALEEXCHANGE RATEEXPORT GROWTHEXPORTSEXTERNAL FACTORSEXTREME POVERTYFINANCIAL CRISESFINANCIAL SECTORFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN INVESTMENTFREE TRADEFUTURE GROWTHGDPGDP PER CAPITAGENOCIDEGLOBAL DEVELOPMENTGLOBAL ECONOMYGLOBAL INITIATIVEGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNMENT EXPENDITUREGOVERNMENT SUPPORTGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROWTH MODELGROWTH MODELSGROWTH OF NATIONSGROWTH POLICYGROWTH PROCESSGROWTH RATEGROWTH RATESGROWTH SUCCESSESHIGH GROWTHHIVHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUSINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME INEQUALITYINDEXATIONINDUSTRIAL ECONOMYINDUSTRIALIZATIONINDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIESINFORMATIONAL GAPSINSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTSINTEGRITYINTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC RELATIONSINTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTEINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONSINTERNATIONAL TRADEINVESTMENT CLIMATEINVESTMENTS IN EDUCATIONJOB CREATIONJUDICIAL INDEPENDENCEJUSTICELAND REFORMLEGAL STATUSLOCAL ECONOMYLONG-TERM GROWTHLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMACROECONOMIC POLICYMACROECONOMIC REFORMMACROECONOMICSMARKET FORCESMARKET SYSTEMMINISTERMINORITYMONETARY ECONOMICSMONETARY POLICYMONOPOLIESMOVEMENT OF PEOPLEMULTINATIONALNATIONAL CULTURENATIONAL INCOMENATIONAL LEADERSNATIONAL POLICIESNATURAL ENDOWMENTSNATURAL RESOURCESPEACEPENSIONSPER CAPITA INCOMEPER CAPITA INCOME LEVELSPLANET EARTHPOLICY DECISIONSPOLICY MAKERSPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY-MAKING PROCESSPOLITICAL CHANGEPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLITICAL EMPOWERMENTPOLITICAL INTERESTSPOLITICAL LEADERSPOLITICAL LEADERSHIPPOLITICAL PARTIESPOLITICAL POWERPOLITICAL RIGHTSPOLITICAL STABILITYPOLITICIANPOLITICIANSPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRACTITIONERSPRIVATIZATIONPRO-GROWTH POLICIESPRO-POORPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC AFFAIRSPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR REFORMPUBLIC SERVICEPURCHASING POWERPURCHASING POWER PARITYRAPID GROWTHREAL GDPREAL INCOMEREGIONAL POLICYRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESPECTRULE OF LAWRURAL INFRASTRUCTURESERVICE DELIVERYSKILLED LABORSMALL BUSINESSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL DIMENSIONSOCIAL SCIENCESOCIAL SCIENCESSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL UNRESTSOVEREIGNTYSPONSORSSTATE GOVERNMENTSTATE UNIVERSITYSTATE-OWNED ENTERPRISESSTRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENTSTRUCTURAL CHANGESUSTAINABLE GROWTHTAKEOVERTAX HAVENSTECHNOLOGY TRANSFERTELECOMMUNICATIONSTELEVISIONTHEFTTOLERANCETRANSPARENCYUNION MEMBERSUNIONSURBAN AREASVIOLENCEVOTERSWAGESWARWEALTHWORLD TRADE ORGANIZATIONWTOWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/978-0-8213-8100-7
