An examination of the legal framework governing opportunities and barriers to economic development in Southern Africa: a case study of Zimbabwe

Doctor Legum - LLD / This thesis examines the legal framework of Zimbabwe to determine if the laws and policies which
are in place create opportunities for, or barriers to, economic development. Specifically, it
examines the legal framework governing trade, investment and financial services. The thesis
focuses on Zimbabwe as a case study and draws lessons from South Africa. It proceeds from the
premise that despite the numerous attempts made at international, regional and domestic levels to
increase economic development (such as through liberalisation of markets and access to
international development finance), Zimbabwe has failed to attain 'developed country' status. The
purpose of the thesis is to examine the causes of poor economic performance in Zimbabwe postindependence
(post-1980).
