Senegal
The French colonial administration provided little opportunity for the development of serious democratic institutions in Senegal. Although many African nations are engaged in the process of democratization, Senegal is one of a handful generally considered to be making significant progress in the transition to a fully democratic state. Since the 1980s Senegal has been troubled by a secessionist movement in its southernmost region, the Casamance, w…
Tolerance, Democracy, and Sufis in Senegal
This volume, derived from a conference held at Columbia University in 2008, contains ten chapters written by some of the leading scholars on Senegal. The editor is Mamadou Diouf, professor of African studies and history at Columbia and the author of many books and articles on Senegal. Tolerance, Democracy, and Sufis in Senegal is a major addition to discussions on politics, religion, and social change in that country. Moreover, its value comes fr…
Party Politics and Different Paths to Democratic Transitions
Benin and Senegal represent two successful cases of democratic transition in Africa. They also represent two different paths to that end. This article explores the role of political parties in facilitating these different and successful paths to democratic transitions. In Benin, political parties and political leaders relied on the prevailing patterns of ethno-regional cleavages to structure their strategic interactions, mobilize electoral suppor…
Electoral System Effects on Gender Representation
Electoral systems as endogenous re-distributive institutions (Tsebelis, 1990) help to define the rules of the game. In this manner they have an important impact among regional, class, ethnic, gender, and other sub-groups of the general population on the distribution and variation in outcome of who is nominated for, and elected to, national office. In particular, there is a well-established and growing literature on the impact of electoral systems…

Evaluation of the Impacts of Grassroots Management Training on Women in India
Based on a survey conducted in 1996, this article explores the impacts of a Grassroots Management Training (GMT) program offered with the support of the Economic Development Institute (EDI) of the World Bank to poor women engaged in micro-enterprise work in the informal sector of three states in India—Bihar, Orissa and Rajasthan. The research studied whether training led to improvements for women in business management, expansion of the markets, …

Islam, Women and the Role of the State in Senegal
Although Senegalese women are beginning to move into the modern sector and keep up with their male peers they are still distinctly behind in terms of power status and access to resources. Religion does not currently distinguish among those who will and those who will not have opportunities; yet it certainly has an impact on womens behavior and mens attitudes as well. This paper examines to what extent the nature of Senegalese Islam and its interp…

Devaluation of the CFA Franc in Senegal
The devaluation of the Communauté financière africaine (CFA) franc occurred on 12 January 1994. Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Central African Republic, Comoros, Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, and Senegal were immediately affected as the value of their currency decreased by 50 per cent. One French franc now became worth 100 instead of 50 CFA - in reality a 100 per cent increase in the cost of goods …
