About the Book

The oil boom prompted a massive inflow of capital into the Arab region. But whilst the investment this facilitated clearly had benefits for the region, the developmental achievements of the boom decade are demonstrably unable to match the magnitude of the resources directed to development and the reasonable expectations invested in it. Professor Yusif Sayigh draws a powerful and painful lesson from this experience applicable to other areas: you cannot buy development; it must be soundly oriented and sought with resolve by society's leaderships and a people enjoying a large measure of freedom and political participation.

Table of Contents:
1. Expectations and the Frustrated Pursuit of Development 2. The Dependency Paradigm: Promise, Limitations, and Qualifications 3. What is Self-Reliant Development? 4. The Feasibility of Arab Self-Reliant Development: A Case Study 5. The Dynamics and Machinery of Arab Self-Reliant Development

Review :
`Elusive Development is an ambitious, exhiliarating attempt to persuade academics and policy makers alike "that meaningful development, whether under socialism or under progressive nationalism, will remain elusive, unless it is sustained by a number of critical and though preprquisites. ... In an era of cascading capitalism, Yusif Sayigh offers a welcome alternative vision for the future.' - International Journal of Middle East Studies Vol 25:2 `This is a welcome addition to the literature on economic development...it makes for very interesting and relevant reading in pursuit of the answer.' - The Economic Journal `Sayigh's study certainly contains some thought-provoking statements on the dependency paradigm and the possibilities of collective, self-reliance in the Arab World.' - Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie
