Except-Africa: Postscript to a special section on development narratives
WORLD DEVELOPMENT(1995)
Abstract
Two development narratives about Africa cry out for rectification. One is the "Except-Africa" narrative talked about when the techno-managerial elites conclude, "Development works...except in Africa." The otter is the elites' neo-Mathusian Doomsday Scenario for countries in Except-Africa. Both development narratives are factually incorrect and do an extremely poor job of stabilizing decision making in heterogeneous and changing African settings. Counternarratives are needed and some are suggested.
