Rezensionen

A timely book for those who are interested in knowing more about the Rwanda of today... How Rwanda emerged from the horrors of Genocide to become a model of development and governance is a story to be told. This is what...Ensign and Bertrand do in this highly readable book. -- David Macrae, European ambassador to Rwanda, 2004-2009 Rwandans and those who follow developments in our country should find this work invaluable-it should not only set new standards in academia, but also provides powerful tools for improving informed policymaking in our country through its insights and ideas. -- Paul Kagame, president of the Republic of Rwanda This book challenges the pervasive misconceptions about progress in Rwanda since 1994, and carefully analyzes the evidence for Rwanda's success. It is a significant contribution and should be read not only by those interested in Rwanda but also students and practitioners of development. -- Eamon Kelly, president emeritus, Tulane University; executive-director, Payson Center for International Development and Technology Transfer
