| Abstract: | This special issue of Afriche e Orienti investigates the relationship between rural developent and poverty in Zambia and Malawi in a historical perspective, with a focus on the impact of rural development policies on post-colonial processes of state and nation building. The essays highlight the neoliberal economic policies implemented by the national governments since the 1980s and the disappointing results of poverty reduction strategies implemented during the last two decades. Deviating from the mainstream depoliticized view of poverty as stemming from a lack of connection of the poor to the markets, the contributions in this issue regard poverty as embedded in broader mechanisms of political, economic and social exclusion.
