Robert H. Bates is currently the Eaton Professor of the Science of Government at Harvard University, where he has studied and provided consulting assistance in the areas of governmental reform, economic policy reform, and political economy for many countries throughout the world. He is the author of several books, including Open-Economy Politics (1998).
Most Africans live in rural areas and derive their incomes from farming; but because African governments follow policies that are adverse to most farmers' interests, these countries fail to produce enough food to feed their populations. Markets and States in Tropical Africa analyzes these and other paradoxical features of development in modern Africa and explores how governments have intervened and diverted resources from farmers to other sectors of society. A classic of the field since its publication in 1981, this edition includes a new preface by the author.

評分故事很簡單,就是非洲國傢怎樣按發展理論所說剝奪農業發展工業,而政府乾預怎樣一項項失敗的。集體行動的邏輯農村組織不起反抗,政府更偏好項目製而非農産品價格的調整來獲得更多的政治支持。寫得倒是乾淨利落堪為典範,隻是不免懷疑有將復雜性簡單化的趨嚮。不過不失為政治過程和發展各種互動的好作品
