Abstract / Description of output
This article explores Tanzania’s experience of industrial policy since independence
through the concept of the political settlement. Higher growth in manufacturing since
1996 has been seen as a vindication of neoliberal policies of market liberalisation.
Yet, the neoliberal approach fails to take account of the important legacy of state-led
industrialisation under socialism and aspects of the political economy of the state in
Tanzania that explain some of the longer-term constraints on industrialisation. Critical
aspects of Tanzania’s political settlement relate to state–capital relations and the
distribution of power between contenting factions of intermediate classes within the
state.
