Since independence in 1980, Zimbabwe has swung between state-dominated and free-market development strategies. Both have proved problematic, because policy is influenced by regional and global factors and cannot be implemented in isolation. The external impacts of, first, apartheid destabilization, then World Bank neoliberalism, and now sanctions have combined with counterproductive political and economic decisions taken by government to create serious economic problems.
