- Summary:
- Many African countries liberalized in the belief that international competition would stimulate efficiency, growth and technological dynamism. Looking at technological reactions to liberalization in garments and engineering in Tanzania, Kenya and Zimbabwe, this book examines why the results have been largely disappointing. Its findings, aimed at practitioners and researchers, explain why the assumptions underlying liberalization are often flawed, why capabilities differ, and why they lag behind other regions.
