Priorities for the poor, a conceptual framwork for policy analysis
Article Abstract:
A methodology has been devised for classifying the most important problems related to poverty, and their causes, in order to select appropriate policies to alleviate poverty. The proposed methodology could be improved by including specific government objectives, and by more work on cost-benefit analysis. This could be carried out through setting up econometric models with data from a Living Standards Measurement Survey, to quantify connections in the SIO table and using matrix inversion techniques. Morocco has been used as a case study to illustrate the methodology.

The political economy of Euro-African fishing agreements
Article Abstract:
Euro-African agreements have not been found to be conducive to the economic growth of Africa. They do not sustain management of the country's marine resources. These agreements are motivated by the profit interests of European fishing companies and the desire of African political elites to control the industry for their interests. These fishing agreements have resulted in further widening the income gap, enriched the facilitators of foreign capital investment and marginalized local fishermen and women.
