Ruling party-owned conglomerates (Parbus) are emerging in some postconflict African economies following state capture by ethnic parties. We offer an analytical framework, buttressed by four country case studies of “developmental ethnocracies” in Africa and Asia to identify when Parbus dominance can be redistributive wealth-seeking and when wealthcreating. Four regime characteristics underpin the prospects for wealthcreation over rent-seeking: legitimization angst, organizational capacity, ideology, and degree of state centralization. Three evolutionary paths (perhaps stages) suggest themselves: paragonist that is inclusive and growth friendly, parasitic engendering a poverty-tyranny trap and mutualist exemplified by a destabilizing contest among party, state and private interests.
