IngentaConnect Tanzania: Economy, Politics and Government

Abstract:

In the 1990s, Tanzania began to move away from the state-sponsored import substituting industrialisation towards economic liberalisation. Yet the power of the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) and President Benjamin Mkapa is indomitable. This has led many on the island of Zanzibar to demand independence from the mainland. Pro-independence supporters have claimed that the government based in Dar es Salaam has used electoral fraud and police brutality to maintain its hold over the island.
