The author applies new methodological, disciplinary, and analytical approaches to examine specific major contemporary policy issues. The topics covered include the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in developing countries, an anomaly in the digital divide, Internet connectivity differences in Sub-Saharan Africa, and the domination of India in the spread of new, low-cost smart feature phones. This book is a must-read for a general audience interested in the current development policy in the light of the current Covid-19 pandemic, as well as for students and researchers of development economics and development studies who are interested in issues involving the digital divide and state policy towards the internet in the Global-South. 001440849 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed November 10, 2021). 001440849 650_0 $$aEconomic development$$zDeveloping countries$$y21st century. 001440849 651_0 $$aDeveloping countries$$xEconomic policy$$y21st century. 001440849 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001440849 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030884961$$z9783030884963$$w(OCoLC)1266896657 001440849 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in economics,$$x2191-5512 001440849 852__ $$bebk 001440849 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-88497-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001440849 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1440849$$pGLOBAL_SET 001440849 980__ $$aBIB 001440849 980__ $$aEBOOK 001440849 982__ $$aEbook 001440849 983__ $$aOnline 001440849 994__ $$a92$$bISE
