This volume is one of two publications that celebrate the centenary of Ragnar Nurkse's birth. The other volume, also published by Anthem and titled Trade and Development, reprints the key works of Nurkse.
Ragnar Nurkse was born in Estonia in 1907; he died unexpectedly in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1959. He is one of the early pioneers of development economics, whose works are as relevant today as they were during his lifetime.
This volume is based on a conference that took place in the capital of Estonia, Tallinn (where Nurkse went to school) on 31 August and 1 September 2007.
We would like to thank all the contributors to the volume for the lively discussions during the conference; the Estonian Science Foundation (grant no. 6703), The Other Canon Foundation, Norway and PRAXIS Center for Policy Studies, Estonia, for financial support in organizing the conference; and Ingbert Edenhofer for his editorial help.
