Abstract
Mauritius is commonly cited as one of the success stories of the application of programmes for export‐orientated industrialisation. This paper examines the historical evolution and performance of export‐processing zones (EPZs) in Mauritius. The strengths and weaknesses of the EPZ programme are identified and certain broad policy lessons of the ‘Mauritian model’ of development are drawn.
