Abstract: | From 15 to 17 November 2007, the African Development Bank and the Economic Commission for Africa organized the second African Economic conference under the theme 'Opportunities and Challenges of Development for Africa in the Global Arena' (Addis Ababa, Ethiopia). In addition to plenary sessions, more than 60 papers, which reflected on various challenges and opportunities facing Africa, were presented at the conference's 31 break-out sessions.

The papers cover various aspects of the opportunities and challenges of development for Africa in the global arena. Contents: Introduction (Léonce Ndikumana and John C.
