  abstract = {{M}adagascar's long-term trajectory is unique: not only has {GDP} per capita been trending downward since 1960 (the puzzle), but every time the country has set out on the path of growth, it has been stopped in its tracks by a socio-political crisis that has shattered the hopes it raised (the paradox). {N}o satisfactory explanation of this failure has been provided so far. {T}his book elaborates a model of intelligibility of {M}adagascar's downfall, based on an integrated political economy approach as well as mobilizing the most recent development theories. {C}ombining a review of historical literature with original and sometimes unique statistical surveys, it proposes a general interpretative framework for the workings of {M}alagasy society. {R}ichly documented and accessible, {P}uzzle and {P}aradox allows readers to understand {M}adagascar's sociopolitical history while more broadly offering an opportunity to grasp the different dimensions of development in the {G}lobal {S}outh.},
