State Failure and Success in Uganda and Zimbabwe: The Logic of Political Decay and Reconstruction in Africa
通过乌干达和津巴布韦的后殖民经历，检验了关于非洲国家与经济失败问题的多种理论解释，指出每种理论只能解释部分现象，并强调具体国情和结构性变化对政策成败及向自由民主资本主义转型前景的关键作用。
Abstract This article uses the post-colonial experiences of Uganda and Zimbabwe to demonstrate both the strengths and weaknesses of competing theoretical explanations for problems of state and economic failure in Africa. It shows that they all explain some but not all of these processes. It demonstrates the crucial role of contextual circumstances and ongoing structural changes in each country in determining the success or failure of policy regimes and, of current prospects for a long-term transformation to liberal democratic capitalism.
