Markets and identities in Africa: Honouring Gavin Williams
The six articles in this issue of the Review of African Political Economy (ROAPE) address the complex and contradictory relationship between markets, identities and economic change in contemporary Africa, with a specific focus on Nigeria and South Africa.Together, they explore how economic processes of globalisation, liberalisation, privatisation and subordination are shaped by the mobilisation and resistance of racial and cultural identities.And…

Africa is changing rapidly.Cell phones are used to organise cattle-rustling in northern Kenya.A fishing boat registered in Togo fishes illegally in Norwegian waters and sells the catch into Hong Kong.Yet some things have not changed.Despite having roughly 12% of the world's population, Africa still only has around 1% of world trade and GDP.Partly for this reason, some of its states are still subject to limits imposed by structural adjustment prog…

Satellite images for Africa
Large organisations, such as the FAO, UNIDO and World Bank, have for decades used image information from satellites such as Landsat for planning. However the logistics (and politics) of getting the data from the satellite owners, and the expense of the technical skills needed to then make sense of it, has prohibited the use of such systems for local planners 'on the ground'. There are, however, many satellites which send continuous streams of fre…
Central planning and market relations in socialist societies
This article examines some problems of central planning in eastern Europe, to see what lessons, if any, may be drawn for developing socialist societies. It is argued that the lessons are not simple ones that can be deduced from directly transposing eastern European problems and solutions to the quite different conditions of developing societies

Endre Sik and the Development of African Studies in the USSR: A Study Agenda From 1929
Writing in 1963, the late D.H. Jones commented on the first volume of the Hungarian Endre Sik's History of Black Africa that “this is simply another pot-boiling account of the European colonisation of Africa, about 1910 vintage, distinguished from others of its kind only by the slightly greater space it allots to speculation about the mysterious native past...Professor Sik's unexacting standards of evidence are those of the crudest type of politi…
Power and the State
Economic calculation in the Soviet Union
The article seeks to analyse the relationship between different forms of economic calculation in the Soviet Union, concentrating on monetary calculations used by the State Bank and on the use of ‘material balances’ and of input‐output analysis in planning the Soviet economy. It provides a critique of Bettelheim's analysis of the role of monetary calculation in the Soviet Union and, using the work of Lavigne, attempts to provide a foundation for a…
