Industrial Policy and the Transformation of the Colonial Economy in
Africa offers an in-depth analysis of the role industrial policy
can play in the transformation of African economies. Using examples
from Zambia's industrial development experience, this book
illustrates that core features of the colonial economy have not
just survived six decades of independence in most African
countries, but they have continued to shape the nature, scope and
pace of economic activities on the continent. The book argues that
since the colonial economy in Africa was not intended to serve the
interests of Africans, it is imperative that the structures and the
underlying rationale of the colonial economy are radically
reoriented if economic activities in Africa are to benefit the
majority of Africans. Drawing from the Zambian experience, the book
shows that the transformation of the colonial economy in Africa is
urgently needed. Whilst this has proved to be difficult over the
past six decades, it can be done. The book outlines a specific type
of industrial policy, Frontier Industrial Policy, as a key
instrument for transforming the structure of African economies. At
a time when economic growth across Africa is under considerable
pressure due to COVID-19, the insights in this book will be of
interest to researchers across Economics, Development, Postcolonial
Studies, and African Studies.
