That question, presumably a first year college question in politics, is seriously flawed ... 'To what extent' implies a causual relationship and that would certainly be a contentious proposition. \n\nSecondly, what arrangements are you talking about, and what developments? It could be said, for arguments sake, that last month's elections is the only development in the last 20 years that could logically be ascribed the colonial era - after all, the Britons invented democracy and gave it away to its colonies. \n\nMuseveni being a dictator is a result of Museveni being a dictator and not colonial administration ...

That's a very complex question.  African countries we see on world maps were not drawn up by Africans. Europeans went into the African continent and carved the continent up according to European exploitation of resources without any regard for the people already living there. Specific European countries took control over certain lands and raped the land and people for Euro profit and power. Divide and conquer was a strategy used  to pit neighboring ethnic groups against each another so the African groups would not unify and rise up against the colonial powers.The weak infastructure set up by the colonial powers were Euro centered and were set up to drain the wealth from the continent. With the African liberation movements starting in the late 1950's, things started to fall apart for the colonial powers. With their physical semi-withdrawl from the countries, came a new form of colonialism called neo-colonialism, which is turn was economic colonialism in the form debt and high interest "aid" programs,  which never benefitted the African countries in the first place. Euopean countries expected the African governments to repay the "aid" at extremely high interest rates, even after the Euro countries got rich from African colonization. The African continent is not a poor continent, it is very rich in natural resources. Another thing to keep in mind is that African liberation from colonial powers is a new concept, whereas most African countries gained independence in the 1960's, and some countries as late as the 1980's. AFRICA UNITE!

Hope this is not too late\n\nIt's fascinating - went from an imperial government to republic, lots of corruption, then to communist, famine, cultural revolution, then a little bit capital with the opening of the economy, more corrupt, and now the country is pretty stable.\n\nMillions upon millions of people died, values changed, people became selfless (when the govt promoted a man called Lei Feng) and now adays it's every man for himself no matter what happens to everyone else.

The Praetorian Guard protecting the Roman Emperor Caligula against assassination, unable to accept his reckless behaviour, murdered him in 41 AD and installed his uncle,  Claudius instead.\n\nThe Tanzanian army marched into Uganda, and Idi Amin fled for his life. The Tanzanian army, mission accomplished, went home again and let the Ugandan people decide their own future.

Hoist by their own petard.  It all stems, not only from the colonization itself, but the laws put in place afterward (British Commonwealth, former French colonies, etc. all have laws making their ex-colonials, eligible for immigration)

it stems from a time when there were very few educated people, and they needed a way to control the masses. It was essentially the first form of government.

Since independence in 1968, Mauritius has developed from a low-income, agriculturally based economy to a middle income diversified economy with growing industrial, financial, and tourist sectors. For most of the period, annual growth has been of the order of 5% to 6%. This remarkable achievement has been reflected in increased life expectancy, lowered infant mortality and a much improved infrastructure.\n\nSugar cane is grown on about 90% of the cultivated land area and accounts for 25% of export earnings. However, a record-setting drought severely damaged the sugar crop in 1999. The government's development strategy centres on foreign investment. Mauritius has attracted more than 9,000 offshore entities; many aimed at commerce in India and South Africa while investment in the banking sector alone has reached over USD 1 billion. Economic performance during the period from 2000 through 2004 combined strong economic growth with unemployment at 7.6% in December 2004.\n\nOn the 4th of April 2005 during his budget speech, Hon. Pravind Jugnauth, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance and Economic Development announced that Mauritius will become a duty-free island and that will take about 4 years. Duty has been decreased (and for many products completely eliminated) for more than 1850 products including clothing, food, jewellery, photographic equipment, audio visual equipment, lighting equipment etc.\n\nThe main motivations are (1) Attract more tourists going to Singapore and Dubai, and, (2) Give all Mauritians easier access to quality products at affordable prices.\n\nA plan by ADB Networks calls for Mauritius to become the first nation to have coast-to-coast wireless internet access. The wireless hot spot currently covers about 60% of the island and is accessible by about 70% of its population. By year's end antennas should provide access to 90% of the island.\n\nEconomy - overview:\nSince independence in 1968, Mauritius has developed from a low-income, agriculturally based economy to a middle-income diversified economy with growing industrial, financial, and tourist sectors. For most of the period, annual growth has been in the order of 5% to 6%. This remarkable achievement has been reflected in more equitable income distribution, increased life expectancy, lowered infant mortality, and a much-improved infrastructure. Sugarcane is grown on about 90% of the cultivated land area and accounts for 25% of export earnings. The government's development strategy centers on expanding local financial institutions and building a domestic information telecommunications industry. Mauritius has attracted more than 9,000 offshore entities, many aimed at commerce in India and South Africa, and investment in the banking sector alone has reached over $1 billion. Mauritius, with its strong textile sector, has been well poised to take advantage of the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).

I believe that some of those formerly colonized countries are better off now than they would be if they had not been influenced by British rule for a period of time.  India comes to mind.  So does North America, which would have inevitably come under some more modernized nation's colonial rule for a time.\n\nHowever, during the colonial period, the people of those places suffered great injustices including outright robbery of resources and taxation that I would firmly oppose.
