The Radicalised State: Zimbabwe's Interrupted Revolution

Sam Moyo and Paris Yeros

Review of African Political Economy, 2007, vol. 34, issue 111, 103-121

Abstract: This article conceptualises the revolutionary situation that gripped Zimbabwe from the late 1990s. That was the moment in which the two political questions that historically have galvanized peripheral capitalism -- the agrarian and the national -- were returned to the forefront of political life. We argue that the revolutionary situation resulted neither in a revolution, nor in mediocre reformism, nor in restoration. It resulted in an interrupted revolution, marked by a radical agrarian reform and a radicalised state -- the first on the continent since the end of the Cold War.
