VL - 7 IS - 1 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Fanta Regina Nacro's "The Night of Truth" (2004) is a graphic post-war political film that mediates the conflict between ethnicities within a nation state that has failed to appreciate its diversity as a gift. The authors analyse how the artists use cinematic means to challenge individuals and communities to cross the borders of sectarianism and intolerance in order to discover their shared need for freedom as a human race. They argue that although individuals and communities are often caught up in the prison of intolerance and divisionism, the ultimate desire of the human person is to be free to associate and make choices. Their central argument is that art has the power to foster agency, and to liberate individuals and communities in subtle and effective ways. Bibliogr., notes, sum.

VL - 8 IS - 1 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Boko Haram currently poses existential threats to the Nigerian state and its citizens. But defeating the group has proved very challenging for the Nigerian government. This is partly due to lack of understanding about the contributing factors relating to the emergence and continued existence of Boko Haram. Thus, this article examines how the interaction of Islamic fundamentalism, politics, and poverty explain the emergence and continued existence of Boko Haram in Nigeria. As a reflection of the hollowness within Nigeria's overall security architecture, the inability of Nigeria's security agencies to combat the current threats posed by Boko Haram is also analyzed.

VL - 8 IS - 1 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - In May 2013 the African Union proposed the creation of an institutional framework for a new continental rapid-response force called the African Capacity for Immediate Response to Crises. While the creation of the rapid-response force has offered hope as an antidote to the recent continental inaction in the face of insurgencies in places like Mali in 2013, it has undergone critical scrutiny because it seemingly duplicates - and thus arguably draws resources away from - a similar mechanism, the African Standby Force, which has been in development by the African Union and regional communities since 2003. A contemporary debate is thus emerging: Certain observers favor the African Capacity for Immediate Response to Crises' new, ad-hoc, slim, and voluntary approach to collective security, while others argue that the African Standby Force's preexisting - though underdeveloped - regionally based, comprehensive, and institutionalized framework should receive top priority. This article offers overviews of both institutions and the various debates currently surrounding them. In the main, it argues that while critiques that the African Capacity for Immediate Response to Crises is duplicative of the African Standby Force are superficially cogent, deeper analysis shows that this is not the case. Rather, the African Capacity for Immediate Response to Crises is a laudable stopgap measure for continental rapid-deployment capabilities until the more bureaucratically complex African Standby Force is fully operationalized. Rather than undermining the African Standby Force, the African Capacity for Immediate Response to Crises is instead highly complementary. Indeed, it is likely the case that some of the more successful components of the African Capacity for Immediate Response to Crises will ultimately be incorporated into the African Standby Force's rapid-deployment capabilities once the latter is ready for operations in 2015 or beyond.

VL - 8 IS - 2 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Since December 2013, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development has been mediating the current South Sudan conflict. The mediation effort is predicated under Chapter VIII of the United Nations Charter under which regional organizations can undertake activities in the area of conflict mediation and resolution. In January 2014, the mediation process resulted in the signing of two landmark agreements on the cessation of hostilities and the political detainees. The paper argues that the authority's mediation process is in danger of failing due to a number of reasons, including the authority's structural problems and lack of leverage to enforce its will on the parties to the conflict. In the end, the mediation may have a chance of success if the organization can tap into its mediation experience gained during the Sudan and Somalia peace processes. Moreover, the authority's mediation of the South Sudan conflict has a chance of succeeding because it has been recognized by the African Union and the United Nations among others as the only process to resolve the problem.

An analysis of the Kagame regime's reasons for contributing to African peace operations reconciles these contradictory images. Following the logic of extraversion, the Rwandan government's peacekeeping activities are an instrument for mollifying Western donors without terminating interference in the Congo. Peacekeeping showcases a strategic manipulation of international norms rather than a commitment to humanitarianism. The strategy has proven successful for the Rwandan government, improving the regime's diplomatic standing and increasing their access to military aid and training. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 7 IS - 1 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - The shifts in the priorities of literary and cultural theory and criticism were already underway in the South African academy by the end of the 1980s, with the gathering momentum of the mass political movement reaching its apotheosis with the release of Nelson Mandela from prison in 1990. There was a steady acknowledgement of the necessity for a corresponding shift in the discursive character of the creative arts. Ramadan Suleman's film "Fools", which appeared in 1997 as an adaptation of Njabulo Ndebele's 1983 novella by the same title, entered the fray with its argument for a new or, as it were, broader consciousness of the deeper, more complex legacy of "sexual violence". This legacy included the weak "place of women in the everyday life of the township" (Suleman 1995: 1), and indeed in the very idea of "the everyday" that some in literary and cultural circles sought to inscribe. This article provides an assessment of the nature and extent of the film's intervention in the context of the systematic breakdown of the old certainties of race, identity and nation post-apartheid, together with the literary-critical cultures and apparatuses that presided over their coherences and raptures.

An argument is made that the French state, through its behavior in Rwanda before and during the genocide of 1994, is complicit under international criminal law. As a concept, complicity provides a lens for understanding the scope of liability of states as responsible actors within the international system. The article argues that that the knowing participatory role played by the French throughout the period of the Rwandan genocide can be construed as complicity in genocide. This is a criminal breach of international law. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 8 IS - 2 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Nigeria faces a serious set of new security threats. In the south and the northeast, respectively, there are insurgencies led by the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, among others, as well as Boko Haram. These insurgencies are related to a complex set of insecurities in Nigeria: poverty, income inequality, corruption, crime, and youth militias. The Nigeria state thus far has not been able to effectively address these security issues. This article examines the potential of traditional rulership in Nigeria to positively contribute to the struggle against insecurity and its consequences. It finds that there may be promise in the institutions of traditional rule. Yet, because traditional rulers have been often co-opted by the state, they have lost much of the legitimacy it needs to fulfill that potential. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 2 IS - 1 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Recently, the academic and political debate on resource scarcity and conflict has been revitalized against the background of global trends like climate change and the growing commercial pressure on land. Scholars widely agree that resource scarcity causes or influences conflict via social and political mediation mechanisms. But the respective understanding of social mediation fundamentally depends on theoretical and ontological perspectives. The author argues that conflicts over land are indeed distributive conflicts over a scarce resource. But they cannot be understood regarding only the materiality of the resource because the conflicts are embedded in specific social relations. The author examines local conflicts over land in the Como‚ province, south-western Burkina Faso and illustrates how local citizenship is negotiated in these conflicts. Control of and access to land, as well as social categories of citizenship and belonging are linked to each other in a mutually constitutive relationship. Bibliogr., notes, sum.

VL - 2 IS - 1 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - The economic voting theory and the responsibility hypothesis posit that voters hold the government accountable for economic performance and will vote for the incumbent if the economy is good. The core assumption is that there is an incumbent and an opposition contesting in an election. But, this is not always the case. In elections following a transitional power sharing government, the schism between the incumbent and the opposition is generally blurred. Political parties that usually contest in the elections would have been part of the transitional power-sharing government. In such cases, voters are not able to apportion responsibility, and political parties compete to claim credit and assign blame. This increases the propensity for election commodification. Applying this proposition to Zimbabwes 2013 elections, this paper contends that ommodification of elections increases in polls following a transitional power sharing government when political parties contesting in the elections were part of the transitional power sharing government, making it difficult for voters to determine responsibility for policy, and leading to intense competition among political parties to claim credit and apportion blame for the performance of the transitional power-sharing government.

VL - 15 IS - 5 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Community is one of the idealized terms used frequently in contemporary development discourse. This paper argues that community is a complex and portrays the outcomes of development programs that apply it loosely. It draws on qualitative research methods and a case study of the World Banks Community-Based Rural Development Project implemented in Abaase in the Eastern Region of Ghana between 2005 and 2011. The analysis suggests that while the concept of community seems appealing, it may not practically exist or may be weak in localities labeled as communities. Thus, the paper argues for the need to design and implement community-based or driven programs in a way that identifies, develops, and targets specific community groups or members, particularly in migrant and transient populations.

Prior to the improvement in road and air transport, men had always been seen as those who move out and thus the breadwinners in the family. However, there is an increasing shift from this paradigm and recently with advancement in road and air transport female migrants have in many ways become the breadwinners of their families thus changing the socio-cultural norms hitherto unknown in the region. Womens mobility in the past was linked to spousal reunions or for family reasons. Drawing from archival and secondary sources, oral interviews, and secondary sources this article argues that the new wave of mobility of women from the Bamenda Grassfields to China has altered previously perceived notions of men as breadwinners of the family and has led to a new dynamic in this region with women becoming more assertive. These women have come to represent what is known as China Women and they have fundamentally challenged patriarchal roles and control in the cultural fabric of the sub region. What accounts for this new wave of migration to China? To what extent does this phenomenon impact on the existing notion of men as breadwinners? The article concludes that the stereotypical view that conceives women as sedentary to stay at home and look after the livestock and children while their husbands move in search of family incomes has been challenged by the women of this region.

VL - 15 IS - 5 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - The extant perspectives on vote-buying have produced three central arguments around its causes, which are the factors of poverty, the electoral/voting system, and the nature of politics in the state. Going beyond these perspectives, this study presents the argument that vote-buying can also be explained by considering the nature of the political economy of a state, especially when the state is oil-dependent. The Nigerian case study demonstrates this argument. The authors employ the oil-impedes-democracy framework, which is a strand of the resource curse theory, to argue that the incidence of vote-buying in Nigerias contemporary elections is prevalent because of the oil wealth associated with politics and elections in the state. This is because abundant oil wealth intensifies elite competition, which explains the use of all strategies to win elections including vote-buying. This is also facilitated by the fact that the political elite, especially the incumbent, have adequate access to oil wealth and spend it to buy elections and hold on power. Voters, on their part, also prefer to sell their votes during elections to have a share of the national cake given their perception of the wealth associated with politics in Nigeria and the poor service delivery by politicians after assuming state offices.

VL - 15 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - The phenomenon of farmer-herders conflict across West Africa has prompted management strategies by several governments across the subcontinent. One of the conflict resolution mechanisms has been the policy of expulsion, which the Ghanaian state adopted as a response to incessant conflict between the settled agriculturalists and migrating Fulani herders. This paper focuses on migration and conflict as well as the intrigues and politics of expulsion of Fulani pastoralist from Agogo town in Ghana since 2009. There are multiple factors responsible for the migration of Fulani herders to Agogo area that are linked to climate change. The authors also examine the social and political factors triggering the expulsion as well as agitation to expel the Fulani. Counter to this they examine the Fulani reactions towards this development. Through this the authors also critique the policy of expulsion as a means of dealing with the pastoralist question. By means of a critical assessment of the conflict they offer strategies for policy and reconciliation. Bibliogr., notes., ref., sum.

VL - 2 IS - 1 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - The Republic of Namibia has an extremely complex composition of its population. Bantu nations, Khoisan groups, mixed communities and people of European origin create a political problem of how all those society segments can be represented in the national decision making process in a just and satisfactory way. During the precolonial time period, the individual tribes and groups had their own chiefs or kapteins along with the respective aristocracy or elected representation (Volksraad in the case of the Rehoboth Basters). The German colonial rule between 1884 and 1915 united all national and racial groups for the first time, but the African communities remained outside of the gradually constituted white self-administration as a subordinated element. During the South African rule under the League of Nations Mandated Territory regime 1915/1921-1945 the first political representations of Africans were being organized on the ground level. After World War II the controversy between the Union of South Africa (Republic of South Africa since 1961) and the UNO Trusteeship Council led to an effort to seek a solution according to the apartheid politics: the whites from South West Africa were represented directly in both South African parliament chambers. Meanwhile several homelands for the native population were projected in conformity with the Odendaal Plan. Under pressure from the international community, only three homelands were really proclaimed out of 11 planned. The UNO initiative and the SWAPO armed resistance made it impossible to recognize results of the last elections organized in 1980 within the racial/tribal framework as well as the all-races Transitional Government of National Unity established in 1985. During the last years under the South African administration, traditional chiefs assumed their authority in all African communities. Based on the free and UNO supervised one-person-one-vote 1989 elections the independent Namibia came to existence in 1990. However, all democratic rights and the bicameral parliament the upper chamber of which respects the equality of each from 13 regions do not guarantee a fully fair representation of all ethnic groups. The merging of the Euro-American democratic system of power with the complicated national/tribal/clan reality is still to be calibrated in the future. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum.

VL - 2 IS - 1 U2 - w38 N2 - Fair Trade is a complex movement, but its central purpose is to help disadvantaged small producers from developing countries through trade. The most recognized aspect of the movement is Fairtrade International, the biggest Fair Trade certification organization. The system was created to give advantages in international trade for farming cooperatives who decided to join the movement. Although in last 20 years of Fair Trade growth there have been many studies of the movement, there has only been one wide spectrum survey on the impact of Fair Trade on rural producers. Many others were concentrated at other aspects of the movement or were irrelevant. The research presented here is the first qualitative Fair Trade impact study conducted in Ghana. It also has a wide spectrum and is a part of broader ongoing research in two other regions of the world. Research was conducted to examine Fair Trades (in particular Fairtrade Internationals) impact on farmers and communities in Ghana by comparing it to farmers and communities that do not benefit from the system. A qualitative study was conducted, based on 75 interviews, among them interviews with farmers of cocoa and oranges, members and employees of cooperatives, owners and employees of food companies and representatives of Fairtrade International. Observations of 5 villages and 1 small town, alongside the interviews conducted, resulted in the conclusion that there are no substantial differences in the standards of living between farmers which are members of cooperatives benefiting from Fair Trade and farmers from the comparison group. The research suggests that small cooperatives and big cooperatives function differently. Small cooperatives are operating in the interest of their members, while big cooperatives are focused on creating business potential. The study revealed that small cooperatives provide more benefits for farmers while the big ones transform into ventures similar to corporations AV - AFRIKA article Y2 - 2015/09/17/ M3 - 395998638 L3 - http://modernafricajournal.org/wp-content/uploads/Borys-Bikowski-2014- The-impact-of-Fair-Trade-on-the-living-standards-of-farmers-in-Ghana.-Social- cooperatives-and-corporate-cooperatives.pdf ER - TY - JOUR ID - 3099 T1 - The repugnancy and incompatibility tests and customary law in Anglophone Cameroon A1 - Kiye,Mikano E.

VL - 15 IS - 5 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Contemporary customary law in Anglophone Cameroon has undergone a severe transformation since the coming in force of the Southern Cameroons High Court Law (SCHL), 1955. Prior to its enactment, customary law was administered by village authorities and was not subjected to any requirements. The SCHL is an influential piece of colonial legislation applicable in the former Southern or West Cameroon (currently the two Anglophone South West and North West Regions). Apart from establishing the competence of the then High Court, the legislation provides for the reception of English law into the territory and for the enforcement of customary law subject to passing duality teststhe repugnancy and incompatibility tests. Section 27(1) governs enforcement of customary law. Seemingly, the provision had the objectives of guaranteeing the survival of customary law in Anglophone Cameroon and eliminating offensive customary practices, thereby provoking in the people a sense of reform of customary rules. However, contemporary developments revealed that inasmuch as Section 27(1) has secured the survival of customary law (as interpreted by lawyers) over the years, it has also generated a number of conceptual and practical difficulties in the enforcement of customary law by the statutory courts. There are no clear standards in determining repugnancy and this has led to uncertainty in the application of customary law. Further, the duality tests have led to a divergence between the customary law recognized by the court and that recognized in society, the consequence being that a new version of customary law has arisen which does not reflect socially recognized norms. Alternatively, through the application of the duality tests, a new version of customary law is created by the statutory courts and then institutionalized in the legal system..

VL - 15 IS - 5 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This paper argues that the Rwanda-Uganda alliance began in the early 1980s as a pact of survival between Ugandan rebels and Rwandan exiles then living in Uganda, through the Rwandan and Ugandan military occupation of Congo, and concludes with the alliances violent breakup in late 1999. Using different alliance theories, this paper helps explain that the success of the Rwanda-Uganda alliance against the Mobutu regime had generated a bandwagon effect in the region. But the speed and success of this war paved over serious disagreements in strategy and clashes of personality within the Rwanda-Uganda alliance. It was not until the second war in Congo that these disagreements came to the surface; the alliance encountered fierce and unexpected resistance from states in the region, which joined together to balance and ultimately stymy the Rwanda-Uganda alliances second attempt at regime change in Congo. Drawing from interviews with high-ranking Ugandan and Rwandan officials, as well as numerous secondary sources, this paper argues that the Rwanda-Uganda alliance was beset by personality clashes between major players in the alliance, strategic disagreements over the ubiquitous Congo question, and zero-sum economic conflicts of interests, exemplified by the fighting between the Rwandan and Ugandan militaries at Kisangani, which marked the end of the alliance.

The paper traces the emergence and perpetuation of the conflict to the imposition of an exploitative and competitive colonial system sustained by mass labour migration, ethnic-politics and religious contestations. At the centre of these violent eruptions are the groups dynamics that the conflict has created: The Indigene versus Settler problematic as well as the Christian versus Muslims militias. The crises in Jos are resource and identity-based in a contest over the native, political and economic soul of the ancient Tin-city. The various attempts made by the State and other non-State actors at finding lasting solutions to these ensuing huge human and material loss in this circle of violence have largely been insincere as they are also politicized. The Conflict perspectives as well as the Ethnic and Resource Mobilization paradigm were adopted in an attempt to understanding the Jos crises. Bibliogr., sum.

The Mgithi performance signaled a beginning of new directions, largely in Kenyan music and specifically in the contemporary Gky music in terms of themes and style. The performance, mostly an urban phenomenon dominated by Gky one-man guitarists, is a major site for negotiation of identities and incorporates the interface and interplay between the traditional and the contemporary, especially in the urban setting. This article highlights the inherent contradictions in creation and re-creation of urban identities as expressed in this music. The main argument is that identities are always contested and different socio-economic situations call for a negotiation, if not a re-negotiation of identities. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum.

VL - 1 IS - 2 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Food security has been a problem of developing countries. Recently it has also become a policy priority of some wealthy nations, notably after the 2008 economic crisis. Large scale agricultural land investment, which is referred to as land grabbing in critical literature, is being used partially as a solution to address food shortages besides, profit making. The paradox is how developing countries could be food secure while the investing countries are also driven by the same need. Africa is the main destination for those multinational companies for a variety of reasons. However, there is a debate on whether these agricultural investments are beneficial to the host countries or whether it is just land grabbing. The aim of this paper is to investigate the perceived benefit of agricultural land transactions for developing countries, precisely, in ensuring food security. National development policies are therefore key elements to be analysed in light of food security priorities. Ethiopia illustrates the impact of large scale land transactions on food security by analysing those investment deals in relation to the national development policies and by applying theories that address both availability and the accessibility of food. This analysis contributes to identifying whether large scale land investments have a positive contribution towards achieving food security and ending the dependence of developing countries? The article argues that large scale land investments hardly meet food security in Ethiopia, largely, due to the export oriented agricultural development policy of the government.

In the post-Cold-War period socialist ideology was actually abandoned, together with the really valuable concept of self-reliance. As most African countries, Tanzania is crucially dependent on foreign aid. The authors argue that aid can play a positive part for Tanzania and countries like it, but only if it promotes their self-development which, in its turn, is possible only if a nation is or strives to become self-reliant. However, in contemporary Tanzania the culture of self-reliance has almost disappeared since national ideology has changed, and many people rely on foreign aid and national government, not on their own hard work. At the same time, the union of foreign donors and corrupt national bureaucracy results in Tanzania in aid without development that, as in the case of aid for mosquito bed nets, cannot promote self-reliance and, hence, socio-economic progress.

VL - 1 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Today, global players and global legal norms are present even in seemingly remote areas. The Bijag¢s archipelago of Guinea-Bissau is a case in point. Besides the autochthonous islanders, there are operators of the global tourist industry, international drug dealers, fishing ships from Asia and Europe, petrol companies, as well as transnational environmental organisations on the islands who seek to obtain specific rights to access the islands resources, be it oil, fishing grounds, beaches, biospheres, or hiding places. All newcomers, however, bring differing legal perceptions to the islands. The article argues that the confrontation of autochthonous legal norms with allochthonous conceptions affects morally protected boundaries between various spheres of exchange, leading to crises of trust, misunderstandings and mutual accusations of immorality. On the archipelago, local groups actively cope with these global challenges by claims for the re-establishment of neo-traditional rights on land and fishing grounds, which are not only directed against newcomers, but are also prone to bring about changes within the age-class society of the Bijag¢s.

VL - 1 IS - 2 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Five decades after sociologist Everett Lee published his universal Theory of Migration, rationalising etic explanations of praxis in unprivileged migration still prevail. In this article the author critically discusses commonly used concepts such as coping strategy, agency and creativity that have been widely derived from the study of uncertainty in urban and rural Africa. Subsequently he suggests reassessing the concept of informality within the context of migration, where it evolves alongside migrations informal/formal divide. Informality then includes migrations specific existential dimension and can be understood as a typical mode of action in unprivileged migration. Informality potentially bridges the gap between acting and being acted upon (Jackson 2005), it renders active where otherwise passivity and exclusion have to be faced and thus feeds imaginations of a better life elsewhere. Informality, however, also shapes people and their view of the world. This is explicated exemplarily with reference to my own fieldwork with migrants from Eritrea and Ethiopia. The author argues that migrants agency should not be simply alleged from above, but conceptualised from empirical research. The study of migrants informal praxis can not only contribute to theoretical debates in migration studies but also refers to a global perspective. Bibliogr., notes, sum.

VL - 14 IS - 4 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - There has been a growing realization over the years of the importance of cooperatives as vital instruments for socio-economic development across the globe. The article seeks to argue that the success of cooperatives in contributing to local economic development (LED) in South Africa is undermined by the lack of an active cooperative movement and faulty state support for cooperatives. Through a literature review, the LED contribution of cooperatives by way of training, provision of services, social cohesion, and infrastructure development is analyzed. Subsequently, there is a discussion of the challenges faced by cooperatives in the country such as the high attrition rate, leadership and management challenges, interference by government officials, and a lack of stability. The article endeavors to bring to light some of the possible solutions to the current challenges, among which is the need for establishing training institutions on cooperatives, the creation of an enabling environment for a strong cooperative movement to thrive, and provision of adequate funding. The article further underlines the need for a research and evaluation mechanism that will monitor the performance of cooperatives and provide necessary support. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum.

The research was conducted as a base for the author's Masters Thesis in the year 2006 and focused on the community-based youth organizations. Apart from observing and describing their activities the author recorded the emic perception of life in Kibera and views on poverty. She found out that the common outsiders discourse and description of life in an impoverished settlement differs greatly from the view of its young adult inhabitants. Due to the youths enthusiastic and indeed philosophical attitude to life the author decided to focus on the positive aspects and reveal the wealth present in Kibera. The wealth, as she tried to show, rests in the young proactive population of Kibera who are striving to be recognized and respected. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum.

VL - 46 IS - 2 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - South African law distinguishes between enrichment liens and debtor and creditor liens. The former are generally classified as real rights and the latter are not. This position is similar to the position in Dutch law before the enactment of the current BW, where 'retentierechten' (liens) were divided into 'zakenrechtelijke retentierechten' and 'verbintenisrechtelijke retentierechten'. The former enjoyed real operation while the latter did not. Even though most authors are of the opinion that neither 'zakenrechtelijke retentierechten' nor 'verbintenisrechtelijke retentierechten' qualified as either real or personal rights, there were some authors who regarded 'zakenrechtelijke retentierechten' as real rights. The current 'BW' did away with the uncertainty regarding the nature of a lien. There is no longer a distinction between different types of lien. Article 3:290-3:295 'BW' deals with 'retentierechten' and classifies a lien as a 'verhaalsrecht' (right of redress) and a specific 'opschortingsrecht' (right to suspend). Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 1 IS - 2 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Based on employment-intensive public works, international food aid implemented a model in several countries with varying rates of success. Through the sale of foodstuffs, food aid in Cape Verde originated a monetized help system called cash-for-work. This system consisted of recruiting workers from rural areas for the construction of infrastructure projects for the conservation of soil and water. Also the construction of roads creates income for rural families, during their free time from the traditional activities such as composting, sowing and harvesting of dry land agriculture. The result was the establishment of a food aid program in Cape Verde through the 1980s and 1990s that represents a combination of several types of programs. These programs intend to guarantee long-term employment as well as the creation of an infrastructure. Therefore it was not a program of emergency food aid. Santiago`s rural production relationship develops alongside the transformation in social structures based on the traditional forms of cooperation of work and mutual assistance. This is in response to developmental actions through the rural development projects. These transformations in the peasants social organization refer to the importance of reciprocity in peasant society. In the Santiago case, this possibility is settled by using a device to reduce uncertainty, a kind of shape memory behavior, where collective reciprocity of the social structure, built on peasant institutions, was to maintain a negative relationship with modernizing external interventions. Development/underdevelopment, is the result of the action of economic agents in a precise contexts. The decision of rural economic agents as minimum resource managers is the essential ingredient to the "modernization" of peasant self-management, fostering the co-evolutionary process (progression) of different elements of social design.

VL - 1 IS - 1 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This article examines the organization of Zambian political parties via the extended case method of the reflexive science model (Burawoy 1998). 23 in-depth interviews with party members and activists were conducted in three Zambian provinces around the time of the tripartite general elections in 2011. The inter-subjective encounters focused on the parties dayto-day functioning and were used to construe a model of party members lifeworld and its connections to macro-social forces studied by positive science. The study describes the Zambian political party scene as a one party multipartism that is characterized by a lack of organizational cohesion and party switching of both individuals and structures. Using this interpretation as a springboard, the second part initiates a theoretical discussion of party ideology, party voter interface, the dynamics of non-cohesive party competition, and the role of informal politics in the partys internal organization. A picture emerges of political parties that are well adapted to the environment in which they operate and that strategically use a full range of symbolic, organizational, and financial resources available to them.

Using the case of 'Centre for Minority Rights Development (CEMIRIDE) on behalf of the Endorois Community v Kenya' (No 276/200), decided by the African Commission on Human and People's Rights in November 2009, this article analyses the support that regional and continental rights enforcement mechanisms could provide to the protection of IDPs, particularly those displaced by development projects. The article concludes that whereas there may be a need for expanding the reach of law in providing protection to development-induced IDPs, it may still be worthwhile to explore the possibility of reverting to the regional human rights protection mechanism to meet the shortfall in protection and assistance provided by the existing IDP laws.

The editors believe that the articles demonstrate that contemporary Senegalese artists are working through their artistic and cultural creations to empower ordinary citizens who are fed up with the calcification of conventional political avenues to create a new type of Senegal. Furthermore, this collection of essays shows that the mentality among these artists to reform Senegalese society through the arts is a uniquely Senegalese philosophy that can be traced back to the birth of Senegals independence.

VL - 46 IS - 2 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Soon after constitutional democracy came to Namibia in 1990, the courts began to propound and develop a human rights culture and jurisprudence. Missing, however, from the resulting wealth of case law, were cases relating to government liability. In effect, there was no corresponding development of the law of state liability in Namibia until recently when claims for delictual damages for the acts and omissions of police and prison authorities alleging breaches of fundamental rights, started reaching the courts. Although the Namibian Constitution does not, like the South African, expressly mandate the courts to develop the common law so as to reflect the spirit of the entrenched fundamental rights, the Supreme Court has held that the Namibian Constitution and national legislation necessarily authorise the courts to adjudicate having regard to those rights. It then proceeded in 'Dresselhaus Transport CC v Government of the Republic of Namibia' 2005 NR 214 (SC) to treat as 'useful guidelines' the constitutional-delict principles enunciated by South African courts in developing Namibia's own government liability law. This presentation argues that, like their counterparts in South Africa, litigants in Namibia do not bring their actions directly under the Constitution seeking compensation for breaches of their fundamental rights, and that pursuing that line of action has its inherent problems and negative implications for vindication of litigants' rights. It suggests a re-think of that approach and practice. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 14 IS - 4 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This paper seeks to understand the rationale behind the introduction of the villagization program in post-independence rural Zimbabwe between the 1980s and the 1990s with a particular focus on the Gokwe South District. This is particularly interesting in that similar programs in the colonial era generated resentment and faced resistance among the rural population and were eventually abandoned. Given that the history of Africa is replete with examples of such programs that failed dismally, the most representative being the ujamaa experiment in post-colonial Tanzania, one wonders why a post-independence government would still have faith in such unpopular programs. The paper is based on fieldwork conducted between 1996 and 1997, and again in 2002-3 and more recently in 2011 in selected areas of Gokwe South District. The research made use of minutes of meetings of the Gokwe South Rural District Council, especially those of the Councils Natural Resources Board and Resettlement Committee; national and local newspapers; interviews conducted with Village Development Committees (VIDCOs), chiefs, village heads, ward councilors, Council and Agritex officials, the district administration and ordinary villagers. Largely in response to the influx of immigrants into the district, among other factors, state officials in Gokwe constructed a land degradation narrative to justify the program. Research work revealed that the program was not adequately explained to Gokwe rural communities. However, the program was eventually overtaken by the land occupations of commercial farms that began around 1997 and dominated the Zimbambwean political landscape for much of the first decade of the twenty-first century.

VL - 14 IS - 4 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - After the fall of President Siyad Barre in 1991, the northern region of what used to constitute Somalia declared independence from the rest of the country as the Republic of Somaliland. Although Somaliland is not internationally recognized as a sovereign state, it has survived for over two decades and currently constitutes the most peaceful and secure area of Somalia. Notwithstanding its accomplishments in state building and good governance, however, the international community has been highly reluctant to extend Somaliland international recognition, while at the same time showering the dysfunctional Somali Federal Institutions with aid and complete recognition in all international forums. Diplomats, politicians, and academics discussing Somalilands status usually raise a number of issues that should be considered before the territory is to be extended formal recognition. This article seeks to examine many of those issues and discuss their validity in order to illuminate the highly complex situation surrounding Somalilands international recognition.

Results indicate that poverty falls in all cases, but poverty falls much more in the case of a complete removal of tariffs on all imports (2.94%), compared with the case of removal of EAC tariffs (2.76%) or non-EAC COMESA tariffs (1.08%) SN - 978-9966-02335-3 AV - Elektronisch document Y2 - 2015/09/17/ M3 - 395540674 L3 - http://aercafrica.org/index.php/publications/view_document/277-trade- policies-and-poverty-in-uganda-a-computable-general-equilibrium-micro- simulation-analysis ER - TY - BOOK ID - 3153 T1 - Vertical integration and farm gate prices in the coffee industry in C“te dIvoire A1 - Benoit,Malan B.

Two formalized models were constructed to study this domestic market. The models dealt with the interaction between its various players, the setting of the farm gate price and the performance of the current organizational structure of the industry (including the vertical integration of the coffee-processing firm), in comparison with an alternative organizational structure without vertical integration. The results of the study show that, under certain conditions, the vertical integration of the coffee-processing firms leads to an increase in the farm gate price on the world market for semi-processed coffee. The study also shows that the relative efficiency of the exporter cooperative (that is, its ability to attract new members) causes private firms to offer a high farm gate price SN - 978-9966-02338-4 AV - Elektronisch document Y2 - 2015/09/17/ M3 - 395540380 L3 - http://aercafrica.org/index.php/publications/view_document/279-vertical- integration-and-farm-gate-prices-in-the-coffee-industry-in-cote-d-ivoire ER - TY - JOUR ID - 3146 T1 - Zimbabwe's choice A1 - Shubin,Vladimir Y1 - 2013/// N1 - Bibliogr., sum KW - 2013 KW - elections KW - land reform KW - political conditions KW - ZANU-PF KW - Zimbabwe RP - NOT IN FILE SP - 41 EP - 65 JA - Modern Africa: (2013), vol.1, no.1, p.41-65.

There is no doubt that the structure of ownership of a firm and its managerial characteristics have an important impact on the capability of the firm to respond to external factors impinging on its performance. This study focuses on companies quoted on the first-tier Security Market of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). The study utilizes a panel data methodological framework covering the period 1993-2002. Our findings show that managerial characteristics and corporate governance have implications on performance. We also find that the qualitative direction and quantitative importance of indicators of corporate governance and managerialcharacteristics on performance vary for low growth firms and high growth firms SN - 978-9966-02313-1 AV - Elektronisch document Y2 - 2015/09/17/ M3 - 395452937 L3 - http://www.asclibrary.nl/docs/395452937.pdf ER - TY - BOOK ID - 3163 T1 - Thieves at the dinner table : enforcing the competition Act, a personal account A1 - Lewis,David Y1 - 2012/// N1 - Met index, noten KW - competition law KW - economic development KW - enterprises KW - personal narratives (form) KW - South Africa RP - NOT IN FILE EP - X, 318 CY - Auckland Park PB - Jacana Media U2 - w38 SN - 1-431-40370-9 pbk AV - AFRIKA 48959 Y2 - 2015/09/14/ M3 - 39380576X ER - TY - BOOK ID - 3159 T1 - Zimbabwes experience with trade liberalization A1 - Makochekanwa,Albert A1 - Hurungo,James T.

U2 - w38 T3 - AERC research paper ; 245 N2 - The paper investigated Zimbabwes experience with trade liberalization for the period 1980 to 2004. The study used three approaches, namely changes in policy, changes in quantities and changes in price to analyse the countrys trade policy during this period. These approaches indicated that the countrys trade liberalization was not consistent with policies that the government implemented between 1980 and 2004. The study also found out that the countrys liberalization process was credible and sustainable during theEconomic Structural Adjustment Programme (ESAP) period (1991 through to 1995), after which credibility was lost when the liberalization process became unsustainable. Reduced credibility was a direct result of policy reversals that were instituted after 1995 while a combination of accumulated balance of payments (BOP) deficits and budget deficits resulted in payments incompatibility, making trade liberalization unsustainable. The study also found that the political economy of the whole trade liberalization process was largely dominated by government (and to some extent individual politicians) with minimal input from the private sector (that is, producers and consumers). The analysis therefore pointed to one main policy recommendation, that is, for the country to reap the benefits of trade liberalization, it has to be consistent in its trade policy. Whilst in the short term, negative effects (in the form of reduced government revenue, for example) maybe experienced, it is in the long run that benefits start to accrue. Policy makers also need to be reminded that trade liberalization should be a process not an event and therefore a long time horizon is required when formulating and implementing trade liberalization policies SN - 978-9966-02317-9 AV - Elektronisch document Y2 - 2015/09/17/ M3 - 395541034 L3 - http://www.asclibrary.nl/docs/395541034.pdf http://aercafrica.org/index.php/publications/view_document/277-trade- policies-and-poverty-in-uganda-a-computable-general-equilibrium-micro- simulation-analysis ER - TY - ADVS ID - 3165 T1 - A screaming man A1 - Haroun,Mahamat Saleh A1 - Djaoro,Youssouf Y1 - 2011/// N1 - Frans en Arabisch gesproken, Engels ondertiteld Videoversie van de film: Frankrijk [etc.] : Pili Films [etc.], 2010 Vert. van: Un homme qui crie KW - Chad KW - civil wars KW - fathers KW - feature films (form) KW - interpersonal relations KW - videos (form) RP - NOT IN FILE CY - [London] PB - Soda Pictures U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Adam (Youssouf Djaoro), a former central African swimming champion, is the pool attendant at a luxury hotel. He is known as Champ. As an economy measure Mrs. Wang, the manager, demotes him to gate security guard and his son Abdel is made pool attendant. The local chief pressures Adam to give money towards Chad's fight against rebel forces, chastising him for not attending a cause meeting. The chief tells Adam of how he sent his 17-year-old son to fight in the war. He also tells Adam he has three days to pay money to support the cause. To regain his post Adam volunteers Abdel for the army and troops come to the family home to draft him. Adam resumes his job as pool attendant. A 17-year-old woman, Abdel's pregnant de facto wife, arrives at Adam's home and is taken in and cared for. The conflict worsens and the townspeople flee. Adam tells his daughter-in-law of his treachery and she breaks down. Adam rethinks his position and takes his motorcycle with sidecar to the war zone to bring Abdel home. He finds Abdel seriously wounded- eye, neck, right arm and abdomen. That night Adam takes Abdel from the hospital, places him in the sidecar and heads for home. On the journey Abdel says he wishes to swim in the river. Abdel dies as they reach the river. Adam floats the corpse in the river which takes the body away.

Vol.1: "Les Chasseurs de pythons": R‚put‚s pour leurs talents de pisteurs, les G'bayas du Nord Cameroun traquent depuis toujours les pythons, serpents de savane pouvant d‚passer sept mŠtres. "Les Sorciers p‚teurs": Il y a 200 ans, les Komas se r‚fugiaient dans les monts Alantika, au Nord du Cameroun, pour ‚chapper aux guerriers islamiques venus chercher des esclaves. Aujourdhui, ils continuent … d‚fier leurs anciens oppresseurs en pratiquant ostensiblement ce que la culture de ces derniers r‚prouve formellement. "Les Peuls M'bororos": les Peuls M'bororos constituent vraisemblablement lun des tout derniers peuples libres de notre monde. Certains groupes, comme les Djafuns, … la frontiŠre du Cameroun et du Nigeria, pratiquent toujours les Saoro, bastonnades rituelles qui marquent le passage des adolescents au statut daŒn‚. Vol.2: "Les Pygm‚es Bakas": Au coeur de la forˆt ‚quatoriale, au confluent du Cameroun, du Congo et de la R‚publique Centrafricaine, les pygm‚es Bakas ont conserv‚ le mode de vie de leurs ancˆtres. "Les Bamil‚k‚s": les Bamil‚k‚s, … lOuest du Cameroun, sont c‚lŠbres pour leur sens des affaires et leur esprit commer‡ant, mais aussi pour le profond respect quils vouent … leurs racines. "Tchambas et Doayos": Chez les Tchambas, linitiation des jeunes gar‡ons ‚quivaut … une seconde naissance et donne lieu … dimportantes festivit‚s. · quelques kilomŠtres de distance, cest au contraire au culte des morts que se consacrent leurs voisins Doayos. Safari en ballon: Survoler en montgolfiŠre le parc de Waza du Nord Cameroun, pour mieux observer les nombreux animaux de lune des plus belles r‚serves de faune d'Afrique Centrale, est le fil conducteur de ce film. Des ‚l‚phants et des hommes: Non loin du lac Tchad, situ‚ entre le Cameroun, la R‚publique Centrafricaine, le Niger et le Tchad, une l‚galisation de la chasse des ‚l‚phants a ‚t‚ n‚cessaire. Un ‚l‚phant engloutit en moyenne 250 kg de fourrage par jour. Les d‚gƒts caus‚s par des troupeaux peuvent ˆtre consid‚rables. Regards sur le Cameroun : Souvent consid‚r‚ comme un condens‚ de tout le continent noir, le Cameroun affiche une grande diversit‚ de paysages. La presque totalit‚ de la faune africaine y est repr‚sent‚e. Le Cameroun est aussi une mosaique de peuples : ses 240 ethnies illustrent une extraordinaire richesse de traditions et de coutumes.
