Rwanda's Stillborn Middle-Income Economy

In Rwanda's Stillborn Middle-Income Economy, David Himbara offers a detailed critique of Rwanda's developmental path and its ambitious Vision 2020 targets. The work assesses the country's economic policies, governance, and the high-profile partnerships formed with international political and financial figures, including Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Jim Yong Kim, and the World Bank.

Drawing upon economic analysis and regional political context, the book investigates the realities behind official growth narratives and development indicators. It explores how international backing and policy decisions shaped Rwanda's public institutions and modern economic performance. This title will interest researchers, university students, policymakers, and general readers across East Africa who wish to understand the political economy and contemporary development debates surrounding Rwanda.
