First Published in 1987. The Political Economy of Risk and Choice in Senegal grows out of the efforts and concerns of many people and institutions. The Ministry of Plan in the Government of Senegal and the United States Agency for International Development Dakar called on the Research Program in Development Studies of the Woodrow Wilson School to address Senegal’s rural development problems in the light of RPDS experience doing policy relevant research in African countries. RPDS worked closely with the Ministry of Plan and USAID, Dakar on this effort from 1982 to 1984. The chapters in this study take as their common theme the analysis of risk in agricultural production, management, and policy implementation in Senegal.

Economic transformation and diversification require solutions that take account of the political economy of reform. This book explores the process of economic transformation, using Senegal as an example. Sound macroeconomic and fiscal policies are prerequisites for achieving this kind of transformation, but these policies need to include the appropriate industrial policies and good economic governance, which provide incentives to help small- and medium-sized enterprises emerge from the informal sector and for foreign direct investment to use the country as a platform for globally competitive production. In many low-income countries extensive rent seeking and patronage have generated stability at the expense of inclusive growth and held back development. Although policymakers know what is needed to address these problems and achieve economic transformation and diversification, how to do it remains a challenge. This book shows how the political economy of reform may be navigated to achieve transformation. For example, the use of special economic zones may solve the problem if good global governance is emphasized, along with linking the zones to the global economy.

"Senegal's contentious politics pose the most likely threat to stability in the coming years. President Abdoulaye Wade's intention to run for reelection in 2012 is likely to be a lightning rod of opposition. His victory would not be accepted by a significant proportion of Senegal's urban population; neither would any attempt by President Wade to line up his son, Karim, as his successor. Although unlikely to provoke any real and substantive instability, three other sources of political conflict remain noteworthy: intrareligious tensions among the Muslim majority; policy debates arising from anxiety about the increasing role of religion and politics in the era of democracy; and the ongoing conflict in the Casamance region, the southern portion of Senegal, which is largely cut off from the north by the country of Gambia. In the long term, the economy will remain a major challenge to stability, regardless of the government in power. Sturctural problems must be addressed, such as diversifying a limited resource base, providing for a swelling urban population, and employing a growing class of educated youth with rising expectations. The government's ability to manage urban poverty will prove crucial to maintaining credibility and quelling discontent."--P. 1.
