Cattle, Diamonds and Institutions: Main drivers of Botswana's economic development, 1850 to present

In English

Författare

Summary, in English

This study investigates the role of political as well as economic institutions, factor endowments and geography as main drivers of change in Botswana’s long-term economic development, from 1850 to the present. The claim that we need to embrace multi-causal explanations

giving equal explanatory value to all mentioned potential drivers is made. Further, in order not to compress history, we should give equal attention to the pre-colonial, colonial and postindependence eras. The study leads by example and provides a thorough analysis that enriches our understanding of the country’s past and present.
