The collective message of this compendium is caution: don't put
excessive pressure on African institutions. Sayre Schatz, Ravi
Gulhati and Satya Yalamanchili, and Raymond Hopkins, in particular,
argue that laissez-faire won't work in Africa; that reforms must be
carefully sequenced; and that evidence on the relationship between
food subsidies and declining agricultural productivity is scanty.
Foreign Affairs This collection of essays was assembled to address
the problems of Africa from a variety of perspectives. The
contributors have attempted to ask some basic but up-to-now
unaddressed questions and to reframe many of the issues. The
overall approach is intentionally interdisciplinary. Although
recognizing that Africa's economic decline has resulted from poorly
designed policy, the contributors also attempt to place that policy
in its historical and cultural context. Similarly, they establish a
comparative perspective for Africa's economic performance, and
point to outside forces that have been overlooked. Finally, the
contributors investigate some key issues in agricultural policy,
such as decentralization, the role of women, and food subsidies.
