Abstract:The international division of labour has been one means by which the less-developed countries (LDCs) have been condemned to underdevelopment and thereby unable to attain self-reliance. The only way to de-link from the international division of labour is to attempt a strategy of self-reliance at the national level enforced by one of collective self-reliance by groups of LDCs, or all LDCs, thereby generating some autonomy of the LDCs vis-à-vis the advanced countries. However, given the precapitalist and capitalist relations of production pertaining to LDCs, underdevelopment is made all the more complicated. The author takes Tanzania as example and provides an analysis of Tanzania's strategy for self-reliance, its workings, successes and failures and recommendations for its future. Bibliogr.
