Making of Economic Policy in Africa

摘要

The report examines the major economic policy developments in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) from 1980 to 1986. The study analyzes the substance of changes and the underlying political determinants and governmental processes. Zambia, Malawi, and Mauritius have been given intensive examination. Chapters explore: the acuteness of the economic crisis and its causes; determinants of changes in economic policies in the late 1960s and 1970s; comparative policy responses of governments, including case studies of the aforementioned countries; and lessons of recent policy history in Africa, including weaknesses in the technical design of reforms and the international framework within which reforms took place.
