Résumé

Cette étude a pour objet d’examiner de manière critique l’importance, la per- formance et la médiocrité du secteur industriel en Afrique subsaharienne notamment dans trois pays membres de la SADC – le Botswana, la Tanzanie et la Zambie. Il y est signalé que des données factuelles tant théoriques qu’empiriques indiquent une performance industrielle plutôt insatisfaisante. L’auteur s’applique à expliquer la marche à suivre (pour sortir de l’impasse) en proposant des approches, possibilités et recommandations alternatives.

Beyond the Impasse of African Industrial Development: The Case of Botswana, Tanzania and Zambia

The thrust of this article is to examine critically the importance, performance and under-weighting of the industrial sector in Africa focusing on three coun- tries, Botswana, Tanzania and Zambia, in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region. The article shows that both theoretical and empiri- cal evidence indicates somewhat unsatisfactory industrial performance. The ar- ticle attempts to explain the way forward (beyond the impasse), by providing alternative approaches, opportunities and recommendations.
