Mauritius—although situated in the Indian Ocean—has often been accounted one of Africa's economic success stories over the last 15 years. Certainly by comparison with many African countries, as well as with other island-states such as those of the Caribbean and South Pacific, Mauritius has witnessed impressive economic growth over that period. Its performance is less remarkable, however, if it is compared with that of other island city-states like Hong Kong or Singapore. There are many indications that the conditions which sustained Mauritius's economic success between 1982 and 1998 are no longer so favourable. This article considers this state of affairs and makes a number of suggestions as to ways in which Mauritians may consider reacting to the international environment with a view to ensuring a future based on further economic growth
