Policy reforms and economic development : an institutional perspective on the Nigerian experience (1986 to 1993)Dipeolu, Adeyemi Olayiwola Kayode 11 1900 (has links)
African economies, including Nigeria continued to perform poorly despite the adoption of economic policy
reforms in the 1980s. An explanation for the failure of economic policy reforms was therefore sought from
an institutional perspective. Since active state intervention in the economy was the rationale given for the
economic crisis of developing countries, the conventional case for an active state which rested on the need
to correct for market failure was counterposed with the argument that the economy was best coordinated by
market forces given that the state was not benevolent, omniscient or omnipotent. However, the state has
played an important role in the transformation of late developers while a state-market dichotomy takes no
account of institutional factors.
The widespread adoption of economic policy reforms owed more to an ideological shift in the development
paradigm than to the debt crisis and there was a great deal of controversy about the theoretical foundations
and impact of these reforms contrary to claims of a consensus. An institutionalist political economy which
recognises that the market is not the only institution and that economic transformation requires the positive
use of political power was proposed. Such an approach takes account of history, politics and the institutional
diversity of capitalism. A more nuanced view of state intervention was therefore advocated. The importance
of institutional arrangements in the quest for economic transformation underscored the inadequacy of
structural adjustment which was hampered by the lack of price and institutional flexibility as well as other
institutional constraints.
The Nigerian experience of structural adjustment shows that long term growth prospects were not enhanced
and that the reforms tended to favour the financial sector over the real sector. The failure of economic policy
reforms in Nigeria can be attributed to the continued presence of constraining institutional factors and the
absence of a positive use of political power. / Economics / D. Comm. (Economics)

The importance of marketing strategies to Nigerian manufacturers since the adoption of structural adjustment programOgomaka, Uzo E. 01 May 1993 (has links)
This research is aimed at assessing SADCC in relation to the degree to which it has accomplished its own aims, regional economic integration and reduction of dependency. The study has relied on and used the dependency theory which holds that the development in a peripheral capitalist system is a continuous process of dispossessing the less developed countries of their raw materials in favor of maintaining the advancement of the capitalist countries. In short, neo-colonial dependence view of underdevelopment attributes a large part of the Third World's continuing and worsening poverty to the existence and policies of the industrial capitalist and socialist countries and their extensions in the form of small but powerful elite groups in the less developed countries. The research came with the following findings and conclusions. That SADCC countries have been integrated into the capitalist system due to the European colonization. That despite the efforts of SADCC and their proclaimed goals of economic integration and self-reliance, the SADCC region has not reduced dependency but rather there is a new dependency on other external countries. SADCC's committed strategies have not produced self-reliance and economic integration in the region due to the structure and activities of SADCC. In order to correct this imbalance and dependency, few options are possible. SADCC should embark upon the socialist mode of development because socialist methods will diminish the degree of dependency as in the case of Cuba. Intra-regional trade should be encouraged to bring about some form of transaction flows and economic integration. Establish appropriate ways of encouraging agricultural productivity in order to alleviate the shortage of food problems in the region and adopt capital accumulation methods.

Social involution? : The impact of economic restructuring on the working class in ZambiaChembe, Martin David 24 November 2008 (has links)
Countries in southern Africa have been implementing economic liberalisation policies for
over two decades, with the aim of reversing years of economic decline. This process of
economic liberalisation has been largely been influenced by the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) and the World Bank policy prescription. While the developed world has been
piling pressure on countries in the Sub-Saharan region to integrate their national
economies into the global economic, different countries have responded differently in
opening up their economies. For some, the new economic policy regime has entailed a
shift from a state-run economy and focusing more on a free market economy. While
some countries have taken a cautious approaching to economic liberalisation, Zambia
went for rapid liberalisation, which has led to negative social consequences on
employment and the livelihoods of the working class. Through the adoption and
implementation of labour market flexibility policies, Zambia and other countries in the
region have seen an upswing in new forms of employment such as casual labour, subcontracting
and temporary employment, which have no protection and have exposed
workers to exploitation. Employment levels have also dropped as the capitalist investors
shed off massive numbers of workers in order to reduce labour costs. Local
manufacturing industries, in most cases, have been forced to close down and lay-off
workers due to unfair competition with cheap imported goods. Liberalisation in
developing countries in general and southern Africa in particular, has entailed weakening
the role of the state in national economic management. Governments are increasingly
succumbing to the dictates of multinationals and are failing to enforce regulatory
measures needed to protect the welfare of workers and their working conditions.
