Description

For the last three decades, Uganda has been one of the fastest growing economies in Africa. Globally praised as an African success story and heavily backed by international financial institutions, development agencies and bilateral donors, the country has become an exemplar of economic and political reform for those who espouse a neoliberal model of development. The neoliberal policies and the resulting restructuring of the country have been accompanied by narratives of progress, prosperity, and modernisation and justified in the name of development.But this self-celebratory narrative, which is critiqued by many in Uganda, masks the disruptive social impact of these reforms and silences the complex and persistent crises resulting from neoliberal transformation. Bringing together a range of leading scholars on the country, this collection represents a timely contribution to the debate around the New Uganda, one which confronts the often sanitised and largely depoliticised accounts of the Museveni government and its proponents.Harnessing a wealth of empirical materials, the contributors offer a critical, multi-disciplinary analysis of the unprecedented political, socio-economic, cultural and ecological transformations brought about by neoliberal capitalist restructuring since the 1980s. The result is the most comprehensive collective study to date of a neoliberal market society in contemporary Africa, offering crucial insights for other countries in the Global South. Review This collection of essays is a commendable effort in achieving its objective of determining by whom, why, how and to what effect Uganda was transformed since 1986. --The ElephantA timely and provocative book. This book fills a huge gap. It is an extremely timely intervention in the debate about the history, trajectory, explanations of the state in which Uganda is at the moment. --A Review of African Political EconomyBringing together an exceptionally strong group of contributors, this volume provides a fresh perspective on the political economy of development in a critically important African country. Indispensable. --Alfredo Saad-Filho, SOAS University of London About the Author Jorg Wiegratz is a lecturer in political economy at the University of Leeds. He has previously worked as a journalist, as well as a researcher and consultant for the UN Industrial Development Organization and the Ugandan Ministry of Trade, Tourism and Industry. Giuliano Martiniello is an assistant professor of rural community development at American University in Beirut. He was previously a research fellow at the Makerere Institute of Social Research in Uganda.
