In compare to most African and Latin American countries' experiences, there has been little focus in the broader policy debate on the role that reinvigorated marketing of a domestic manufacturing capacity in either an import tariffs atmosphere out over five decades that followed liberation may well have rarely played in nurturing specific prerequisites that enabled globalization but instead nationalization policy positions to 'take' as much favorably.
