Abstract: 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.
