Abstract of Article

Title:	New Directions in the Political Economy of Development
Author:	John Rapley
Location:	Vol.21 No.62 (December 1994), pp495-510

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.
