Should Africa Try to Learn from Asia? Lessons for and from Uganda

In: Africa and Asia in Comparative Economic Perspective

Abstract

Post-colonial sub-Saharan Africa has languished. For many countries in the region, living standards are lower in the 1990s than they had been thirty years earlier. There is no shortage of possible scapegoats: drought, famine, civil war and unrest or the legacy of colonial oppression. However, it is too facile to argue that these factors alone led to stagnation on such an enormous scale.
