Microeconomically Coherent Agricultural Policy Reform in Africa

Abstract

In the 1960s and 1970s, the agricultural sectors of most African states descended into crisis. From the late 1960s, intellectual criticism of economic dirigisme mounted within the social sciences, sowing the ideational seeds of development strategy reversal. Scathing critiques of the disappointing history of state economic mismanagement in Africa (Bates, 1981; World Bank, 1981) then helped precipitate a striking reversal of African economic development strategy in the early 1980s. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
