Abstract

Chapter 6 dealt with the case of Zambia, previously Northern Rhodesia, which has exhibited a remarkable consistency in the focus of its agricultural policies throughout the colonial and independence eras. Assessing the 100 year period from 1915, this study applies a political-economy framework to present evidence on the extent to which, and through what mechanisms, initial natural resource endowments have influenced state policies in Zambia, and how those policies have determined the state of the contemporary agricultural sector.

In our study, we present natural resource endowments as an exogenous initial condition, but this is not the only assertion. Instead, the endogeneity of natural resources is a rising issue in the literature Willebald, Badia-Miró, Pinilla (2015).

The definition of settler colonies is contested. One dividing line is between the modern settler economies of the Neo-European type, e.g. USA and Australia, and the colonial territories that were under European political and military control but attracted limited numbers of settlers, e.g. Africa (Loyd & Metzer 2013). For further diversity within the African context, one approach is the recognition of major shifts in the ratio of settlers to natives (in both directions), but then bearing in mind that settler–native ratios change over time. Another approach is estimating the settler communities’ influence on colonial politics (Frankema, Green, & Hillbom, 2016).

The same caution goes for Fig. 6.4 and the statistics on hectares under maize production.
