Robel Fantu

Abstract :

 Developmentalism as an ideology has been practiced by various African nations as the result of the witnessed rapid economic transformation of East Asian states. However the African experience of the ideology is full of debates up to the present time. Accordingly the paper will majorly focus on the debate related to the intention of post–colonial African leaders in adopting the ideology, the impossibility syndrome regarding the effective implementation of developmentalism in African nations and the paradox of patrimonialism and developmentalism in African experience. By  taking  what  has  been  stated  above  as  a  background,  this  paper analyzes the debates on African experience of developmental state ideology. Methodologically, the paper uses information that will be gathered from official documents, books and others.
