Rwanda's Stillborn Middle-Income Economy

Rwanda's Stillborn Middle-Income Economy by David Himbara examines the political and economic landscape surrounding Rwanda's development goals and its Vision 2020 initiative. The work critically assesses the relationship between Rwandan leadership under President Paul Kagame and prominent international figures and institutions, including Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Jim Yong Kim, and the World Bank.

Drawing on the author's direct perspective on regional policy and governance, this study focuses on the claims and realities of Rwanda's economic transformation. It offers readers in Uganda and the wider East African region a detailed, critical view of national development plans, international aid partnerships, and economic reporting in modern Rwanda. The volume provides valuable reading for university students, researchers, and general readers interested in political economy and regional public administration.
