Developing countries have for decades been trying to catch up with the
industrialized high-income countries, but only a few have succeeded.
Historically, structural transformation has been a powerful engine of
growth and job creation. Traditional development aid is inadequate to
address the bottlenecks for structural transformation, and is hence
ineffective. In this book, Justin Yifu Lin and Yan Wang use the
theoretical foundations of New Structural Economics to examine
South-South development aid and cooperation from the angle of
structural transformation. By studying the successful economic
transformation of countries such as China and South Korea through
'multiple win' solutions based on comparative advantages and economy
of scale, and by presenting new ideas and different perspectives from
emerging market economies such as Brazil, India and other BRICS
countries, they bring a new narrative to broaden the ongoing
discussions of post-2015 development aid and cooperation as well as
the definitions of aid and cooperation.
