Forum: After Orthodoxy: Governance and Development in Africa

Neo-Patrimonialism, Rent-Seeking and Development: Going with the Grain?

Pages 677-682 | Published online: 29 Nov 2012
 

Abstract

This contribution summarises research conducted by the Africa Power and Politics Programme, which finds that contrary to standard policy advice, neo-patrimonial governance can under certain conditions be compatible with a growth-enhancing investment climate.

Notes

The countries were Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda. All were in Africa's tropical belt, had medium-sized populations and were immune to ‘resource curse’ issues.
