Abstract:
Economic sustainability is a wide-ranging set of decision-making principles to
achieve economic growth for the current generation and those to come. It is about
creating a livable future for all economic players. The quest for economic
sustainability demands the establishment of operational systems that rest on the
most fundamental economic, social and environmental indicators. Since the
beginning of the New Dispensation in 2017, Zimbabwe has shifted its attention from
politics to economic priorities that help to promote employment creation, economic
growth and a conducive environment for investors. The article establishes the
relationship between law and policy in Zimbabwe's economy during the New
Dispensation, with a focus on lessons for sustainability. For the years 2017 through
to 2021, a descriptive study employing secondary data was used. The study
concluded that, from both the short- and long-term views, policy and law may still
have an impact on a nation's economic success. It follows that how they are set has
a big impact on the overall objective of economic growth. To be successful, an
economy must maintain its competitiveness, business friendliness, political stability
and improvement of the economic status of its population. In this sense, concurrent
policy-making, national administration and legislative action are essential as a
crucial strategy required to support economic viability and sustainability.
Description:
The journal is a forum for the discussion of ideas, scholarly opinions and case studies
on law and policy, statutes, constitutions, general rules of the game (institutional
mechanisms) and policy pronouncements or declared positions that are put to
scrutiny, weighed, interpreted and evaluated. In all these matters, the intention and
context usually define the outcomes and impact. The journal is produced bi-annually.
