Abstract

Based on research carried out in 1996, this paper explores how different actors and interest groups are responding to the current crisis of industrialisation and technological developmentin Tanzania. The background to the crisis is of a gradual crumbling of Tanzania's stateled model of development and the installation of market-led measures over the last decade. It is argued that simple distinctions between state and market are insufficient for understanding the dynamics of industrial and technological capability building. The concept of networks of learning is explored as a means of understanding the complex relationships which help or hinder industrial development. Existing, embryonic and potential networks in Tanzania are identified and discussed in terms of their usefulness for understanding industrial capability building. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
