1. Introduction -- 2. Economic development during Zambia's colonial period -- 3. Economic growth from copper mining -- 4. Impact of political uncertainty on Zambia's economic activity -- 5. Financial investment practices in Zambia -- 6. Modern Zambia and dissident modernity -- 7. China and Zambia -- 8. Debt accumulation in Zambia and Africa -- 9. The Development of Civil Society.

This book examines the economic and political development of Zambia since its independence in 1964. Based on detailed and original research, it explores the challenges faced during each period of Zambia's modern history. The Zambian copper industry is given particular attention to provide insight into the specific nature of the Zambian economy and to highlight how the country has failed to diversify economically and has accumulated debt. Recent debt negotiations, opportunities for financial investment, the relationship between Zambia and China are discussed. This book offers a rounded and considered understanding of the economic and political challenges that face Zambia and Africa. It will be of interest to students, researchers, and policymakers working within development economics, the political economy, and economic history. STEPHEN CHAN is Professor of World Politics at SOAS University of London, where he was also Foundation Dean of Law and Social Sciences. He has received state honours from both the United Kingdom and Zambia. He won the 2010 International Studies Association accolade, Eminent Scholar in International Development and has been Konrad Adenauer Chair of Academic Excellence at Bir Zeit University in Palestine, and George Soros Chair of Public Policy at the Central European University.

DR HANGWEI LI is a senior researcher at the German Institute of Development and Sustainability, having also held appointments in China and at Harvard. She has also won a United Nations prize for her journalism, and has travelled widely in Africa.
