Abstract:This book analyzes the recent economic growth in Africa, which has been widely accompanied by rising inequality, using the concept of 'inclusiveness' or 'inclusive development'. Contributions are selected from conference presentations from the African Economic Conference (AEC) 2012, under the theme 'Inclusive and sustainable development in Africa in an age of economic uncertainty'. Contents: -- Part I Political economy of inclusion.

Nkurunziza). -- Part II: External and spatial economies. Cereal price transmission from international to domestic markets in Africa (Carolin Kouyaté, Stephan von Cramon-Taubadel, Friederike Greb, Nelissa Jamor, Nadine Würriehausen); Impacts of regional trade agreements on trade in agrifood products: evidence from Eastern and Southern Africa (Albert Makochekanwa); Export diversification and intra-industry trade in Africa (Siope V. 'Ofa, Malcolm Spence, Simon Mevel and Stephen Karingi); Capital flight and economic growth in the Franc Zone (Ameth Saloum Ndiaye). -- Part III: Sectorial aspects.
