Reviews

“This book provides an insightful analysis for scholars and graduate students in political science, development economics, geography, engineering, and policy. It is also recommended for development practitioners and donors as they consider whether and how to advocate for increased private sector participation in the power sector across many developing countries.” (Lauren M. MacLean, African Studies Review, Vol. 62 (4), December, 2019)
