Peasant response to price incentives in Tanzania : a theoretical and empirical investigation

Upphovsperson: Eriksson, Gun
Utgivare: Nordiska Afrikainstitutet | Uppsala : Nordiska Afrikainstitutet

Ämnesord: Tanzania, East Africa, Agricultural prices, Agricultural production, Price policy, Supply management, SOCIAL SCIENCES, SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP
The peasants in the third world was for a long time assumed to be the opposite to the "economic man". The peasants, so the argument went, were irrational and their behaviour was determined by traditions, not by economic incentives. Some important contributions to economic theory have questioned this assumption. Now the issue is not whether peasants respond to economic incentives, but how. This study is a survey of the theoretical and empirical examination of peasants response to price incentives in Tanzania.

Diversification and accumulation in rural Tanzania : anthropological perspectives on village economics

Upphovsperson: Seppälä, Pekka
Utgivare: Nordiska Afrikainstitutet | Uppsala : Nordiska Afrikainstitutet
År: 1998
Ämnesord: Tanzania, East Africa, Rural development, Informal sector, Agriculture, Labour, SOCIAL SCIENCES, SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP
This study extends the analysis of local complexity to the sphere of the division of labour. The main argument is that the rural producers tend to diversify into multiple sources of income, and generate innovative strategies of straddling between these incomes sources. The main part of this volume consists of the ethnographic analysis of a case study conducted in Lindi district. It is a thought-provoking and theoretically challenging work which reveals how cultural issues penetrate economic practices and modify the outcome of any economic interventions.

Mining and structural adjustment : studies on Zimbabwe and Tanzania

Upphovspersoner: Chachage, Chachage Seithy L. | Ericsson, Magnus | Gibbon, Peter
Utgivare: Nordiska Afrikainstitutet | Uppsala : Nordiska Afrikainstitutet
År: 1993
Ämnesord: Tanzania, East Africa, Zimbabwe, Southern Africa, Economic policy, Mining, Industrial investment, Gold mines, Legislation, Structural adjustment, Economic conditions, SOCIAL SCIENCES, SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP
The mining sector has played an historically central role in the economy of Africa, but large-scale investment in it declined after 1970. Structural adjustment and the dismantling of apartheid opens up the possibility of a revival of such investment, but also raises questions about the terms on which it will take place and the fate of local small-scale mining industries. These two studies examine tensions between large- and small-scale mining in Tanzania, and the emergence of new forms of relation between international mining houses and the national state in Zimbabwe.

The author who is a writer and academic in Tanzania draws heavily on her own involvement in this cultural-political movement.
