Botswana - questioning an African success story

Hillbom, Ellen LU orcid (2006) Lund University Development Research Day, 2006
Abstract
Botswana has been depicted as an African success story having the highest long-run growth rates over the last four decades since independence combined with a stable multi-party democratic system. In this paper the success story is critically investigated and analysed from a structural perspective. The question is posed if Botswana's success truly is a case of economic development as opposed to growth.
