Mining Revenues for Development Finance
Poverty and Mass Unemployment in Mineralrich Botswana
The economic plight of Botswana's poor has worsened as a direct consequence of the mining sector's success. Their condition results from the process by which economic expansion and modernization has taken place. It has created an economic elite composed of a government bureaucracy and an emerging military "salariat," and a small group of corporation officials and managers. The elite have joined white farming families as the country's largerscale …
Botswana's Macroeconomic Management of Its Mineral-Based Growth
The economic performance and the political history of Botswana during 1974-84 contrasted significantly with the experience of virtually every other African country. The South African republic, immediately north of the Republic of South Africa, achieved steady real economic growth with improved social services and provision for its people's basic needs. This was achieved in spite of world recession and drought because its mineral wealth Was reserv…
Adaptation of Botswana's Development Strategy to Meet Its Peoples' Needs for Land, Jobs
The history of Botswana's economy reflects the development of an open, multi-party democracy through which group, class and regional conflicts have been resolved. Four socioeconomic problems have been emerging in ways which challenge this process and thereby threaten the bases for Botswana's material progress and social and economic stability. The problems involve a growing income and asset ownership gap among Batswana, an expanding demand for sc…
Mineral-based Growth and Development-generated Socioeconomic Problems in Botswana
Botswana's record of economic growth and political stability stands in sharp contrast to the economic stagnation and political turmoil endemic to Africa. Its progress was based on its fortuitous endowment of mineral wealth, and sound macroeconomic management. In effect, diamond, copper, nickel and coal mining has transformed Botswana from a least-developed, rural, agriculture-based economy into one of Africa's fastest growing, non fuel mineral ex…
Problems Produced by the Growth Pattern of Botswana's Mineral-based Economy
Botswana's record of economic development and social stability is challenged by a set of socioeconomic problems, which threaten the country's progress. They are: (a) inequities in income distribution and asset ownership rooted in agricultural underdevelopment; (b) rapidly expanding demands for water, the supply of which is virtually always uncertain; (c) endemic declines in cereal crop production leading to food insecurity; and (d) progressively …
Problems in Acquiring Mineral Revenues for Financing Economic Development
During the 1970s Zambia granted tax incentives to transnational mining companies (thereby foregoing some revenue) in order to achieve expected investment benefits to the economy and government. The Government also acquired ownership interests in the companies via asset acquisition. Global market forces turned against Zambia's interests, and expected benefits were not forthcoming because company profits had become the sole tax base in the mineral …
The African Private Sector and U.S. Policy
The Reagan Administration's approach to the economic development of the continent stems from a virtually unquestioned reliance on the African private sector, bolstered by multinational capital. This strategy has been outlined in the Department of State's Current Policy Memorandum, No. 348 , based on an address made by Chester A. Crocker, Assistant Secretary for African Affairs, to the United States Council on Foreign Relations on 19 November 1981…
The Fiscal Costs of a Basic Human Needs Strategy
Disappointed with the development performance of most Third-World countries during the past two decades, many scholars and public officials have looked for a more effective strategy. They are concerned not merely with the extent of growth, but where it has occurred, with evidence that relatively little of the benefits of increased productivity has 'trickled down' to the poorer half of the populations of these lands. Capital-intensive methods have…
Africa's External Debt Situation
What, if anything, should be done about the rapidly mounting external debt of African and other Third-World countries? This question, prominent within the agenda of U.N.C.T.A.D. 5, is inseparable from the broader problem of what to do about the structure and performance of the global economy which, based on an international division of labour, puts numerous African countries in a situation where they experience acute and chronic deficits and unfa…

Global Market Forces and the Nationalisation of Foreign-Based Export Companies
There are ideological, political, and economic incentives for nationalising foreign-based companies which operate in the export sectors of African economies. The basis of this appeal is the expectation that significant positivenetbenefits will arise from partial or complete acquisition of company assets. The expectedgrossbenefits which serve as the basis for calculation are subject to risk, because national owners often become decision-takers wit…

On Economic Bargaining between African Governments and Multi-National Companies
The activities of multi-national companies provide primary sources of economic contact between African countries and the industrialised world. The companies' operations in both resource and product markets are often influenced by impositions made, or not made, by host governments in Africa. Such impositions result from bargaining between governments and companies in which each negotiating agent is intent upon obtaining the most preferred conditio…
A Note on West Arican Economic Co-operation
Recent articles by André Simmons and K. M. Barbour have analysed the various advantages of, and strategies for, regional economic integration in West Africa. 1 This note focuses on the technical obstacles of full integration, and then on sub-regional economic co-operation as a more practical alternative. How can one agree upon an accepted distribution of the benefits from regional economic integration? How could this be implemented among the West…

An Economic Model of Socio-Political Bargaining
Non-economic social phenomena have been, and are being, explored with analytic methods drawn from economic analysis. Two such analytic concepts, indifference curves and offer curves, have proved useful in such efforts. The concepts are integrated here within a specific formal model which is held to be useful in exploring the central social and political process of bargaining. The impact of three variables-preference, impatience (or time), and rec…
Subject preferences of fifth‐grade children
During the past few years numerous events have occurred throughout the United States and the world which have had a very direct influence on the curricula in the public schools of the United States. One of the most influential factors has been the race for space between the United States and Russia. These events coupled with a greater emphasis on certain skill and content areas have undoubtedly brought about certain changes in the subject prefere…
Certain characteristics of under‐achievers and over‐achievers
Among educators and laymen a great deal of emphasis has been placed on meeting the individual needs of children. Interest in this problem is not of recent origin, but the problem has been intensified in recent years because of world conditions. Numerous approaches have been taken in studying the various intellectual ability groups and whether the curriculum, materials, and teaching methods are designed in favor of, or more effective with, a parti…
The Effect of Socio‐economic Status on the Scholastic Achievement of Sixth‐grade Children
S ummary . In this investigation it is shown that when a child has above‐average intellectual ability he will probably overcome the effects of a deprived home environment. However, as the intellectual ability decreases, the effect of deprived social and economic conditions of the home begins to have a more serious effect on scholastic achievement

Africa and the Generalised System of Preferences
The Generalized System of Preference is composed of various schemes under which donor countries, or regions, offer non-reciprocal and general tariff reductions on the imports of semi-manufactured and manufactured goods from developing countries. The G.S.P. differs from preferences previously granted to African countries by European nations in two ways: first, the preferences granted relate to a broad range of articles rather than relating to spec…
Liberia's External Debts and their Servicing
A recent article in thisJournal, X, I, May 1972, by Robert E. Miller and Peter R. Carter on 'A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Liberia', examined the general cost pattern inherent in concession agreements based upon her 'Open-Door Policy', and noted that 'officials of the Government of Liberia who are responsible for negotiating foreign concessionaire agreements... now recognise this pattern and hopefully plan better bargains in the future'. I wish to f…
