However, this was not accompanied by structural transformation: poverty, food insecurity, unemployment and inequality persist. Structural transformation has not been - and indeed cannot be - delivered by market forces and neo-liberal economic policies; it requires a state committed to development, and to achieving it in a democratic way. To what extent do the countries of Southern Africa exhibit the characteristics of such a 'developmental state'? What steps, if any, do they need to take in order to become one? The book answers the questions with respect to South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Angola and Malawi. Godfrey Kanyenze and his colleagues have assembled a distinguished team of writers to take the temperature of the regional political economy, and chart a path for its future development. 651 0 $a Africa, Southern $x Economic conditions $y 1994- $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00008161 650 0 $a Economic development $z Africa, Southern. 651 0 $a Africa, Southern $x Politics and government $y 1994- $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh98000073 650 7 $a Economic development. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901785 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Africa, Southern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239519 648 7 $a Since 1994 $2 fast 700 1 $a Kanyenze, Godfrey, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n95911275 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021021901.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=32B7E3AC019F11E89C78220097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
