Obstacles and Opportunities -- Chapter 13: Exploring Innovative and Sustainable Financing of Agriculture in Zimbabwe?s Second Republic -- Chapter 14: Concluding Reflections on Change and Continuity. 330 $aThe book provides a fresh and innovative interpretation of the new government of Zimbabwe led by Emmerson Mnangagwa, which emerged in late 2017 after the downfall of Robert Mugabe. It demonstrates the contradictory character of the Mnangagwa government, involving both continuities and discontinuities in relation to Mugabe?s regime . The temptation amongst Zimbabwean scholars has been to focus on the continuities and to dismiss the significance of any discontinuities, notably reform measures. This book adopts an alternative approach by identifying and focusing specifically on the existence of a formative project of the Mnangagwa?s Second Republic, further analysing its political significance, as well as risks and limitations. While doing so, the book covers topics such as reform measures, reconciliation, transitional justice, corruption, the media, agriculture, devolution, and the debt crisis as well as health and education. Discussing the limitations of these different reform measures, the book highlights that any scholarly failure to identify the risks of the project leads to an incomplete understanding of what constitutes the Mnangagwa?s Second Republic. The book appeals to students, scholars and researchers of Zimbabwean and African studies, political science and international relations, as well as policymakers interested in a better understanding of political reform processes. 410 0$aAdvances in African Economic, Social and Political Development,$x2198-7270 606 $aAfrica?Politics and government 606 $aElections 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aComparative government 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aPolitical leadership 606 $aAfrican Politics 606 $aElectoral Politics 606 $aDevelopment Studies 606 $aComparative Politics 606 $aPolitical Theory 606 $aPolitical Leadership 610 $aPolitical Science 615 0$aAfrica?Politics and government. 615 0$aElections. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aComparative government. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aPolitical leadership. 615 14$aAfrican Politics. 615 24$aElectoral Politics. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 615 24$aComparative Politics. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 615 24$aPolitical Leadership. 676 $a320.96891 700 $aMoyo$b Gorden$0853514 701 $aHelliker$b Kirk$01081669 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910725081403321 996 $aMaking Politics in Zimbabwe's Second Republic$93367457 997 $aUNINA
