Abstract This article focuses on the postcolonial economies of Cameroon and Rwanda, two former colonies whose political economies have quintessentially come to define the present character, and nature, of the African state. The social and economic challenges they have faced as sovereign states present serious questions—for both Africans and people worldwide—regarding economic and political development. Are the economies of these states dependent on or independent of their colonial economic heritages? In this regard, are they state-run economies or free-market/mixed-market economies? If they are either of the two types, what has this meant for the states themselves, and how have their political regimes—whether created or inherited—implemented a free-market/mixed-market economy or responded to these economic realities? Through a comparative analysis, utilising primary and secondary sources and data sets, this article argues that the political evolution within these states, and the historical circumstances within which their economies came into being, created economies that have had paradoxical effects. Ultimately, it is argued that historical circumstance, populist politics, and international financial capitalism created neo-colonial economic realities within which Cameroon and Rwanda continue to develop.

喀麦隆和卢旺达:后殖民经济史的比较分析
摘要 本文重点关注喀麦隆和卢旺达这两个前殖民地的后殖民经济,这两个前殖民地的政治经济已经典型地定义了非洲国家的当前特征和性质。他们作为主权国家所面临的社会和经济挑战给非洲人和全世界人民带来了有关经济和政治发展的严重问题。这些国家的经济是依赖于还是独立于其殖民经济遗产?在这方面,它们是国营经济体还是自由市场/混合市场经济体?如果它们是这两种类型中的任何一种,这对国家本身意味着什么,它们的政治制度(无论是创建的还是继承的)如何实施自由市场/混合市场经济或对这些经济现实做出反应?通过对比分析,本文利用主要和次要来源和数据集认为,这些国家内部的政治演变及其经济形成的历史环境创造了具有矛盾效应的经济。最后,有人认为历史环境、民粹主义政治和国际金融资本主义创造了喀麦隆和卢旺达继续发展的新殖民经济现实。
