Examines the connections between structural adjustment,
privatization and the provision of services by the state. This text
examines the state and voluntary organizations in Kenya, Tanzania
and Uganda, at a time when privatization of services is part of
structural adjustment programmes in most African countries. The
contributors argue that market-oriented prescriptions pay little
attention to three important features of service provision: One is
that the provision of services for most of the population depends
on collective action by the state, Non-Governmental Organizations
(NGOs) and People's Organizations (POs). The second is that the
links between the voluntary sector and the state are becoming more
- not less - important for service provisions. The third feature of
service provision is the growing importance of foreign aid. Not
only is foreign assistance a major reason for the growth of the
voluntary sector, but, it is suggested, aid has also made it
possible for the state to maintain - and lately increase - its role
in service provision. Uganda: Fountain Publishers; Kenya: EAEP
This book engages in the debate on growth versus economic
transformation and the importance of industrial policy, presenting
a comprehensive framework for explaining the politics of industrial
policy. Using comparative research to theorize about the politics
of industrial policy in countries in the early stages of capitalist
transformation that also experience the pressures of elections due
to democratization, this book provides four in-depth African
country studies that illustrate the challenges to economic
transformation and the politics of implementing industrial
policies.
