            Abstract

            This article underlines the changing balance of paradigms over the last decade and argues that the critique of neo‐classical theory is gaining new life. What is emerging, though, is a subtler and more sophisticated view of the state than the traditional state‐market dichotomy allowed for. It situates the recent African experience within a wider international context and reviews the different roles played by the state in encouraging or discouraging development.
