There is growing consensus in the development economics literature
that ethnic diversity is a very significant factor in explaining
Africa's poor economic performance. Ethnic Diversity and Economic
Instability in Africa challenges this conventional wisdom. Drawing
on the insights of historians, anthropologists and political
scientists as well as development economists, this book questions
whether ethnicity is the most useful organising principle by which
to examine the economic development of Africa, arguing that it is a
more fluid and contingent concept than economic models allow.
Instead, the authors explore the actual experience of ethnicity in
Africa and propose new methods of measuring ethnic diversity and
inequalities. Finally some tentative conclusions are reached
regarding appropriate policy reforms.
