Building decent societies: Rethinking the role of social security in development – Edited by Peter Townsend
Financing Decentralized Development in a Low-Income Country: Raising Revenue for Local Government in Uganda
Uganda has been engaged for a number of years in an ambitious programme of political and financial decentralization involving significantly expanded expenditure and service delivery responsibilities for local governments in what are now forty-five districts. Fiscal decentralization has involved allocation of block grants from the centre to complement increased local tax revenue-raising efforts by districts and municipalities. This article is conc…
Pensions reform, privatisation and restructuring in the transition: Unfinished business or inappropriate agendas
Renewed policy-maker interest in the potentialities for interaction between private pensions and accelerated SOE privatisations rarely represents genuinely strategic thinking. Current policy sequencing seems significantly misplaced, most particularly in their focus on the prioritised stimulation of the private pensions sector. The available evidence in favour of this strategic choice is far from clear-cut in its implications. In practice, it is r…
The national provident fund model: An analytical and evaluative reassessment
Both earlier and current analytical perspectives on appropriate modes of delivering retirement provision have tended to underestimate both the inherent adaptability and the developmental potentialities of the national provident fund (NPF) model. The essence of this model is found in the welfare salience of the possibility of synergy between the NPF's direct (retirement provision) and indirect (development finance institution) roles in developing …

NGOs in the politics of development: Projects as policy
O ver the past decade or so, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have become increasingly widely recognized as a conceptually distinct, but empirically imprecise, organizational category with clear-cut developmental salience. This is based on a solid history of achievements accomplished across all regions of the South. Specifically, it was in the late 1980s 'that the development community at large, both individual experts and financial agencies,…
The October 1994 elections in Botswana
The politics of elections in Botswana
Botswana's history of uninterrupted competitive elections since 1965, and the extensive literature that these contests have engendered, are re-examined in order, first, to illuminate the developing views of Batswana on the purposes and meanings of these events, second, to examine the evolution of electoral processes in that state, and third, to elucidate the effects that elections have had on the institutionalisation of a stable polity. A princip…

Bureaucrats and politicians in Botswana's policy‐making process: A re‐interpretation
Warlords and militarism in Chad
After considering the inadequacies of the prevailing concern in African studies with violence and the collapse of the postcolonial state, the authors argue that the uses made of concepts of ‘militarism’ and ‘militarisation’ are equally confused and inadequate, particularly in explaining recent Chad history. They suggest an alternative approach, the elaboration of the warlord model used to discuss Chinese history between 1916 and 1928. They argue …
Identifying the Mainsprings of US Refugee and Asylum Policy: A Contextual Interpretation
Utilizing an approach developed from comparative studies of public policy making in the industrialized states, the paper seeks to investigate the main springs of US refugee and asylum policies mainly through an analysis of the domestic political contexts within which these emerged and have subsequently developed. The analysis centres on the utilization of immigration-based policy legacies and state structures for the ‘new’ purpose of refugee admi…
