Ikogou-Renamy Lionel Cédrick. - Les économies occultes de l'or blanc au Gabon
Fetishes, spells, magic potions, skulls, zombies, vampires, witches, human sacrifices, Freemasons, Rosicrucians, sorcerers, black magic, and tomb desecrations. These are the subjects of this haunting yet scholarly work, a doctorate from the University of Libreville, the fruit of years of arduous reading and audacious field research in the author’s native Gabon. Lionel Cédrick Ikogou-Renamy visited the Libreville cemeteries of Mindoubé, Baraka Mis…

Dynastic rule in Syria and North Korea
Dynastic rule in republics is a global trend. Using a qualitative life-story-and-family-history method to compare two republican dynasties – the Assads of Syria and Kims of North Korea – this article examines how ruthless kin groups establish themselves in power, practice nepotism and corrupt republican institutions of government with dynastic succession. Focusing on sibling rivalry, a potentially destructive threat to dynasties, it contributes t…
Launay Robert. — Savages, Romans, and Despots
Antiquity was a modern invention. Medieval thinkers, for example, knew about ancient Greeks and Romans, but did not consider them fundamentally different. In their illuminated manuscripts they idealized Greco-Roman rulers as medieval kings. It was not until the period that we now call Early Modern (16th-18th centuries) that the distinct hiatus between “antiquity” and our purportedly “modern” world emerged in European thought. At first, this was a…
Adebajo Adekeye. - Thabo Mbeki
This paper reviews the economy of Loango, in the context of international and slave trade. It seeks to show that for a long time, this coastal state, which was at that time a vassal of the Kongo, had a strong trading relationship with its neighbours in the Valley of Niari and Pumbo, in the current Stanley-Pool. Based on popular products, these exchanges were monopolised by the notables, who were masters of the sale’ channels. In the 17th century,…
Bjerk Paul. - Julius Nyerere
In the mid-1970s, at the zenith of his power, the president of Tanzania warned against the habit of electing the same person repeatedly for office. “I frequently meditate upon whether it would not be a service to my country if I stood down from national leadership while still in full possession of my senses and strength, in order that I, together with my fellow citizens, could set an example of support and loyalty to my successor. These are not i…
The Dynastic Republic of Gabon
The emergence of quasi-hereditary “dynastic republics” is a new regional trend, raising concerns about the decline in democracy, government accountability, nepotism, and grand corruption. Second generation dynasts have ruled in Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Togo and Gabon and have been treated as exceptional, as aberrations, or theorized under other conceptual tools. In this article, we examine “dynastic style” in this case stu…
Paradoxes of Predation in Francophone Africa
Francophone sub-Saharan Africa today consists of 17 countries in which French is the main language of politics and government. While the French colonial empire no longer exists as a formal structure, the legacy of its former empire continues to influence French African policy. Through its cultural imperialism the common imprint of France upon this immense region is expressed in the French language, as well as its accompanying traditions of law, a…
Anatomy of a Berber Village
Who are the Berbers? How has their identity been constructed? Why have French scholars been so fascinated by this people? These are some of the hard questions answered by Judith Scheele, a research fellow at Magdalen College, Oxford, in her recently released monograph, Village Matters, the latest in a series on African Anthropology published by James Currey in association with the School for Advanced Research. As its title indicates, this book is…
The scramble for African oil
Why is African oil so dominated by foreign multinationals? The author looks at Africa's ‘petrostates’ and examines the factors that may influence this situation, viewed against a backdrop of the rising global demand for oil
Die Elf-Skandale
Die Geschichte der französischen Erdölexploration beginnt in der Kolonialzeit mit der Entsendung von Erdölgeologen zur Feldforschung am Golf von Guinea. Diese geologischen Missionen wurden unter der Ägide eines Joint Venture Société des Pétroles d’Afrique Equatoriale Française (SPAEF) durchgeführt, das von der französischen Regierung ins Leben gerufen worden war, um Investoren für Explorationen in der riesigen französischen Äquatorialafrikanische…

Innovation and Implementation in Public Organizations
The Ungovernable City
We confront an urban wilderness more formidable and resistant and in some ways more frightening than the wilderness faced by the pilgrims or the pioneers. What Robert Kennedy warned in 1966 is, ten years later, more starkly true than ever. As controversies about American cities rage, this critique takes a hard, unflattering look at the urban plight. Those who expect facile answers, utopian visions, or panaceas should, however, be cautioned: the b…
