Writing the History of Development Aid: A Norwegian example. Some reflections on methods and results
International aid has been a significant element both in economic development and international politics since 1945, but has been insufficiently integrated in the discipline of history. The present article discusses the main problems of method, sources and discourse in the field of aid history, based on the recently published three‐volume history of Norwegian development aid. The shifting conjunctures of aid are seen in relation to main paradigm …
Religious NGOs and the Politics of International Aid: The Norwegian Experience
Against the background of recent literature and debate about the role of religious NGOs in international aid the article presents a historical survey of the Norwegian experience in the field, from early missionary history to the link-up with the Norwegian Agency for International Development after 1960 and the emergence of independent local churches as partners. The tension between devotion to evangelism and concern for practical work is evident …

New Developments in the World Economy: Challenges for Development Research and Development Policy
Jarle Simensen, ‘New Developments in the World Economy: Challenges for Development Research and Development Policy’, Forum for Development Studies, No. 1–2, 1994, pp. 23–40. This article traces basic tendencies in the world economy in the 1980s and 1990s, based on UN statistics. The main aim is to falsify the idea of a world divided in two and with a growing gap between industrial and developing countries. The article argues for new priorities in…

Value-Orientation in Historical Research and Writing: The Colonial Period in African History
The aim of this paper is to use African historiography as an example of how value-orientations influence historical research and writing. This can be seen as a contribution to the never-ending discussion about the problem of objectivity in history. African historiography is particularly well suited for such an analysis. Its birth as a separate area of academic study after World War II was partly the result of internal, professional developments, …

African History Research Program at the University of Trondheim
Since 1974 a program of African studies has been developed in the University of Trondheim within the framework of the cand. philol. degree. The major subject within this degree occupies from 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 years of study, including a thesis that in history averages about 60,000 words and must represent original research based on primary material. Since 1974 about twenty-five such theses on topics connected with African history have been completed…

Counterfactual Arguments in Historical Analysis: From the Debate on the Partition of Africa and the Effect of Colonial Rule
During the last decade the question of counterfactual arguments has attracted a good deal of attention both in philosophy and history. A recent example, which concentrates on the logics of counterfactual analysis in history, is T.O. Climo and P.G.A. Howells' “Possible worlds in historical explanation.” Further progress in this field probably depends both on a development of the purely logical issues involved and an analysis of the actual usage of…
The Asafo of Kwahu, Ghana: A Mass Movement for Local Reform under Colonial Rule
In early November 1915 commoners from all parts of the indigenous state of Kwahu in the Gold Coast Colony gathered at Abetifi, the seat of the leading divisional chief.2 From there they sent hammock-men to Abene, the ancient capital, to bring the paramount chief, the Omanhene Kwaku Akuamoa, to their meeting, and under threat of boycott of his palace and tribunal they forced him to sign a comprehensive set of rules regulating political and economi…
Rural Mass Action in the Context of Anti-Colonial Protest: The Asafo Movement of Akim Abuakwa, Ghana
La documentation relative au grand nombre de dépositions faites par les chefs du Ghana méridional durant l'époque coloniale fournit une occasion unique d'étudier la variable « masses » dans la politique rurale. À travers les asafo, organisations d'origine militaire mais à fonction surtout politique, l'action des masses se développa à cette époque de manière étonnamment cohérente et continue. Cet article présente l'histoire de la contestation asaf…
