In contrast to much existing literature on post-independence Zimbabwe which has focused on the political dimensions of Zimbabwe's fragility, this research highlights the economic aspects of Zimbabwe's regression flowing from prolonged mismanagement of the economy which has served to consolidate the rule of the country's political and economic elite. The Zimbabwean experience offers unique insights into the economic mensions of regime preservation. This book situates the Zimbabwe experience within the context of wider debates within the field of development studies, and the international community's response to such situations. 606 $aAfrica$xEconomic conditions 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aAfrican Economics 606 $aEconomic Policy 606 $aDevelopment Economics 606 $aDevelopment Studies 606 $aAfrican Politics 606 $aInternational Relations 615 0$aAfrica$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aAfrica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 14$aAfrican Economics. 615 24$aEconomic Policy. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 615 24$aAfrican Politics. 615 24$aInternational Relations. 676 $a320.96891 700 $aSimpson$b Mark$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01060331 702 $aHawkins$b Tony$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299365103321 996 $aThe Primacy of Regime Survival$92512536 997 $aUNINA
