This article explores Tanzania's experience of industrial policy since independence through the concept of the political settlement. Higher growth in manufacturing since 1996 has been seen as a vindication of neoliberal policies of market liberalisation. Yet, the neoliberal approach fails to take account of the important legacy of state-led industrialisation under socialism and aspects of the political economy of the state in Tanzania that explain some of the longer-term constraints on industrialisation. Critical aspects of Tanzania's political settlement relate to state–capital relations and the distribution of power between contenting factions of intermediate classes within the state. [Politique industrielle et le règlement politique en Tanzanie: aspects de continuité et de changement depuis l'indépendance.] Cet article examine l'expérience tanzanienne en matière de politique industrielle depuis l'indépendance à travers le concept du règlement politique. La forte croissance dans le secteur industriel depuis 1996 a été considérée comme une justification de politiques néolibérales de libéralisation des marchés. Toutefois, l'approche néolibérale ne parvient pas à prendre en compte l'héritage important d'une industrialisation gérée par l'État sous le régime socialiste ainsi que les aspects de l'économie politique de l'État en Tanzanie, qui expliquent certaines des contraintes à plus long terme à l'industrialisation. Les aspects essentiels du règlement politique en Tanzanie concernent les relations État-capital et la répartition des pouvoirs entre les factions des classes intermédiaires se contentant de la situation au sein de l'État. Mots-clés : Tanzanie; règlements politiques; politique industrielle; production industrielle; libéralisation
