Despite substantial economic development in most impoverished regions, Africa remains mired in poverty. In 1945 the USA supported Europe’s economic and political recovery through the provision of security, trade and governance policies that complemented aid. It is argued that Africa needs this same co-ordinated approach today.

The guest editor is foreign affairs and development expert, Paul Collier, author of The Bottom Billion and Professor of Economics at Oxford University.
