Abstract: | This article explores Tanzania's experience of industrial policy since independence through the concept of the political settlement. Higher growth in manufacturing since 1996 has been seen as a vindication of neoliberal policies of market liberalization. Yet, the neoliberal approach fails to take account of the important legacy of State-led industrialization under socialism and aspects of the political economy of the State in Tanzania that explain some of the longer-term constraints on industrialization. Critical aspects of Tanzania's political settlement relate to State-capital relations and the distribution of power between contenting factions of intermediate classes within the State.
