Political Settlements and Agricultural Transformation in Africa: Evidence for Inclusive Growth: Routledge Studies on the Political Economy of Africa

Editat de Martin Atela, Abdul Raufu Mustapha
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 aug 2024
This book explores the ways in which political settlements can contribute to positive changes in Africa’s agricultural and manufacturing sectors.
Contemporary Africa has seen many governments, donors, and commercial private enterprises supporting innovative agricultural and agroprocessing schemes with the purpose of diversifying economies. However, many of the schemes collapse or at best fail to generate the needed jobs. Focusing on case studies in Kenya, Nigeria, and Ethiopia, this book takes an interdisciplinary approach that combines economic analysis, life histories, policy approaches methods, and political economy theory to reframe the field with new questions. The contributors offer alternative explanations for the failure of employment creation schemes in Africa and show how political settlements can bring together stakeholders to settle on win–win approaches to productive employment schemes and inclusive development.
Providing new insights on the political economy of agrarian and labour relations in Africa, this book will be of interest to policy actors and development practitioners wishing to support inclusive growth in Africa, as well as to scholars of African politics and economics, public policy, and development.
