This book explores the ways in which political settlements can
contribute to positive changes in Africa's agricultural and
manufacturing sectors. Contemporary Africa has seen many
governments, donors, and commercial private enterprises supporting
innovative agricultural and agroprocessing schemes with the purpose
of diversifying economies. However, many of the schemes collapse or
at best fail to generate the needed jobs. Focusing on case studies
in Kenya, Nigeria, and Ethiopia, this book takes an
interdisciplinary approach that combines economic analysis, life
histories, policy approaches methods, and political economy theory
to reframe the field with new questions. The contributors offer
alternative explanations for the failure of employment creation
schemes in Africa and show how political settlements can bring
together stakeholders to settle on win-win approaches to productive
employment schemes and inclusive development. Providing new
insights on the political economy of agrarian and labour relations
in Africa, this book will be of interest to policy actors and
development practitioners wishing to support inclusive growth in
Africa, as well as to scholars of African politics and economics,
public policy, and development.
