First published in 1997, this edited volume emerged in response to
Zambia's recent reinstatement of multiparty democracy and its
ensuing economic, social policy and public administrative reform.
Following the establishment of the single party state under the
United National Independence Party in 1972, a severe decline in the
price of copper (Zambia's principle export) resulted in high
national debt and increasing riots. This volume situates itself in
response to the transition from the UNIP to the Movement for
Multiparty Democracy (MMD), seeing it as a verdict delivered by the
people. Its authors aim to explore the causes of this verdict
through areas such as financial innovation, land policy, the health
industry and universities. They thoroughly examine the attempts and
potential pitfalls of the reform programme as well as its impact on
Zambian society. The general conclusion reached by the contributors
to this volume is that while the reform programme is a necessary
condition for economic rebirth its details require careful
consideration in order to ensure it has the desired socio-economic
impact on the people of Zambia. This should also serve as an
important example to other countries embarking on similar
programmes of reform.
