Combining ethnographic and historical perspectives, this study is the most detailed, most extensive account of medium- and large-scale African business. Not only a valuable digest of business activities, this important study also challenges existing views about African enterprise and is highly relevant to policy-makers concerned with economic development

Expulsés par Idi Amin en 1972 alors qu'ils contrôlaient l'essentiel des activités économiques du pays, les Indiens reviennent depuis le début des années 90 en Ouganda. Encouragés par l'attitude nouvelle du régime Museveni, nombre d'entre eux sont rentrés avec l'intention de récupérer leurs biens et de s'impliquer à nouveau dans les affaires. Cet article souligne les enjeux économiques et politiques ainsi que les tensions sociales que soulève ce retour.

Zu dem Zeitpunkt, als die Inder aus Uganda vertrieben wurden (1972), kontrollierten sie einen großen Teil der wirtschaftlichen Aktivitäten des Landes. Seit Beginn der 90er Jahre kehren sie verstärkt in das Land zurück, ermutigt durch die Wirtschaftspolitik und Anreize der Regierung Museveni. Dessen Politik ist innehalb der ugandischen Führung jedoch nicht unumstritten, da hier erneut Spannungen entstehen.(DÜI-Wgm)

This paper examines the dynamic interaction of economic policy and state action with political, social and market forces during the civilian regime of President Shagari (Oct 1979 — Jan 1984). It investigates why democratic politics, or more accurately, the rule of politicians, had disastrous economic consequences. The National Party of Nigeria, which gained power as a party of national patronage, was weak and largely devoid of policies. Political competition and economic debate were constituted around the distribution of state patronage and federal state relations. The public economy and processes of policy formulation were fully exposed to the distributive demands of state patronage and electoral politics. Throughout the period, trends that were identifiable in the economic expansion of the 1970s intensified, including the loss of financial control and discipline in the public economy, the privatisation of public funds and the expansion of state employment.
In Nigeria, as elsewhere, political and social processes and the institutional structure of the state have profoundly conditioned economic activity, state policies and forms of intervention. In this way they affect the allocation and use of resources, patterns of accumulation and the growth and development of the economy. At the risk of oversimplification, it is to some of these structural features that define the economic environment that this analysis will turn first. Spectacular as changes in regime and the ups and downs of the oil economy may be, it is the continuities and cumulative impact of structural features that stand out.

Interaction of economic policy and state action with political, social, and market forces during the civilian regime of President Shagari.

SUMMARY The pattern of Nigeria's capitalist development is examined. In particular the logic of state intervention is related to the growth of foreign capital and the evolution of Nigeria's commercial relations. It is suggested that the importance of commerce helps explain the difficulties of state policies which try to support the growth of local enterprise and state capitalism.RESUME Notes sur l'économie politique de l'intervention d'Etat au Nigéria Cet article examine le modèle du développement capitaliste du Nigéria. La logique de l'intervention d'Etat est notamment analysée en fonction de la croissance du capital étranger et de l'évolution des rapports commerciaux du Nigéria. Il est suggéré que l'importance du commerce contribue à expliquer les difficultés des politiques gouvernementales tentant à soutenir la croissance de l'entreprise locale et le capitalisme d'Etat.RESUMEN Notas sobre la economía política de la intervención estatal en NigeriaSe examinan aquí las modalidades del desarrollo capitalista de Nigeria. Especialmente se relacionan la consecuencia lógica de la intervención estatal con el crecimiento del capital extranjero y la evolución de las relaciones comerciales de Nigeria. Se sugiere que la importancia del comercio contribuya a explicar las dificultades planteadas por las políticas estatales que tratan de apoyar el desarrollo de la empresa local y el capitalismo de estado.
