An up-to-date, comparative, examination of the developing economy
of Tanzania and its grass roots progress out of poverty, with
pointers to its wider implications for policymakers, NGOS and
practitioners. Over the past thirty years, in common with a number
of other Sub-Saharan African countries, Tanzania has experienced a
period of painful adjustment followed by relatively rapid and
stable economic growth. However the extent of progress on poverty
reduction and the sustainability of the development process are
both open to question. In this book, prominent international
observers provide a range of different perspectives on the process
of development over time and the issues facing a rapidly growing
African economy: political economy; agriculture and rural
livelihoods; industrial development; urbanisation; aid and trade;
tourism; and the use of natural resources. Comparisons are drawn
with other African economies as well as other developing countries,
such as Vietnam. An invaluable deep review of Tanzania's economy
and development, the book also looks at the wider implications of
the research for the futureon the continent and beyond. David Potts
is Honorary Visiting Researcher at the University of Bradford and

Ministry of Agriculture in the 1980s, has had many subsequent
short-term assignments in the country and is co-editor of
Development Planning and Poverty Reduction (2003).
