The Elite as a Critical Factor. The Case of Botswana (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789171066954)

The Discussion Paper provides insightful explanations for Botswana's emergence as one of Africa's developmental success stories. It underscores the role of the ruling elite coalition in shaping the particular kind of politics, inclusive policies, consensus, partnerships and vision that have contributed to the emergence of Botswana as a democratic developmental state. This is an important paper that should be read by all those keen to understand how Botswana has managed to avoid the 'natural resource curse' and stand out as a model of democratic stability and sustained economic growth in Africa.
