The New World Order
The massive shift in the global balance of power that followed the collapse of Eastern Europe has profound implications for global stability, prosperity and (Third World) development. Optimists see a 'New World Order' (NWO), in which a peace dividend can finance enhanced human welfare, reduced inequality and environmental protection. Pessimists fear increased social and economic polarisation and growing political instability as the logic of a der…
Financial Deregulation
Despite its critical importance and its pervasive impact, the financial system has been relatively neglected in recent political economy debates, probably because it is the least well understood and least well documented part of the economy. This is a grave mistake both tactically and analytically since financial liberalization has been a central driving force behind the severe social and economic problems currently emerging in Canada
The Lessons of History and the Developing World
The world of the 1980s presents a sharp contrast to the optimistic visions and hopes of just thirty years ago. In the developed world the sublime confidence of the 1950s—which announced "the end of ideology" and the conquest of the business cycle—has given way to confusion and cynicism. The promise that economic growth would bring ever greater prosperity, increasing leisure, a greater concern with culture, and growing social harmony has proven mo…

Dependency theory and the political economy of Africa's crisis
This article will examine the ways in which the right and a large part of the left have converged in their assessment of the African problem, united both in their denigration of dependency theory and in their belief that state intervention lies at the root of Africa's problem and that market forces represent a powerful and historically progressive force in Africa today. In this context it will consider the assumptions, the evidence and the argume…
Analysing the Politics of African State Policy
The problem of Africa's politics has become more acute as the economic position of the continent has deteriorated. With various nations now rapidly disintegrating under the social and economic pressures of the past decade, there is an urgent need for a clear analysis of the political foundations on which Africa's response to these disastrous developments will have to be based. This article seeks to make some contribution to this vital and complex…
The lessons of Africa's industrial ‘failure’
A quarter century after the decolonisation of Africa, the dreams of those who struggled for national independence lie shattered. Hunger stalks the land; the factories stand idle; and the infrastructure, built at such enormous cost, disintegrates. Inevitably, social and political stability is undermined as past policy approaches are discredited and the search for more successful alternatives grows more urgent. Nowhere is this need for new perspect…

Trade Unions, the Labour Process, and the Tanzanian State
Eventhose who do not see the struggle between capital and labour as necessarily antagonistic in a capitalist economy, recognise that it represents one of the most critical areas of potential conflict. This must be analysed by those who wish to study industrial relations and to understand class struggle. Furthermore, the complexity of issues involved is such that people with the most divergent perspectives have often found themselves emphasising t…
Trade Unions and the 'New' Internationalization of Production
Capital accumulation and South Africa
This article rejects the distinction between national and foreign capital based on the passport, residence, birthplace or other attributes of the owners. It rather suggests that by distinguishing between national and international capital according to the nature of the investment opportunities required to induce investment, it is possible to make a vital connection between externally and internally oriented economic activity. This places into pro…

Planning people
Problems of economic planning seem to acquire a resemblance to the problems of military strategy, where in practice the choice lies between a relatively small number of plans, which have in the main to be treated and chosen between as organic wholes, and which for a variety of reasons do not easily permit of intermediate combinations
