Abstract
- This article reviews the literature concerning the emergence of developmental states in Africa and gives an overview of debates on the usefulness of the 'East Asian model' for sub-Saharan Africa. The conclusion highlights how historic developmental states were often the product of trial and error rather than a grand plan; the concept of a developmental state therefore often works less as a model and more as a 'buzzword' with its own uses and effects.
