非洲国家独立以来，经济发展经历了一个曲折起伏的过程。从总体上看，非洲经济虽有所发展，但却被当年处在同一起跑线上的许多亚洲国家远远甩在后面，成为世界上最贫穷、落后的地区。造成非洲落后的根本原因是，非洲国家长期实施的工业化发展战略、结构调整与改革方案大多是外? Since the independence of African countries, economic development has experienced a tortuous process. Overall, although the economy of Africa has developed, it has been far behind many Asian countries that were on the same starting line that year, becoming the poorest and backward part of the world. The root cause of Africa’s backwardness is that the long-term industrialized development strategies, structural adjustment and reform programs carried out by African countries are mostly external ones.
