Contester la France
Cette étude porte sur les représentations locales de l’intervention française au Mali depuis 2013 via les rumeurs, théories du complot et autres informations non confirmées. L’objectif n’est pas d’en vérifier la véracité, mais de sonder les raisons de leur crédibilité locale. Les rumeurs expriment une contestation de l’intervention française et constituent une politique de la vérité qui s’appuie dans une large mesure sur le registre historique po…
Ce sable sur lequel on bâtit

The Limits and Unintended Consequences of UN Peace Enforcement
Recent scholarship has discerned an increasing tendency of the UN Security Council to push the boundaries of UN peacekeeping beyond traditional doctrine by equipping peace operations with ever more robust and even peace enforcement mandates. The first and most frequently cited example of this turn is the so-called Force Intervention Brigade (FIB) in the DR Congo. Yet, a comprehensive account of the FIB experience is still missing. Authorized in M…
The Institutionalisation of Power Revisited
In Africa, a seemingly growing number of attempts by presidents to overcome or abrogate term limits, or make them otherwise ineffective, has ignited a debate about the significance of constitutional engineering, and its implications for the rule of law, democracy, and the nature of politics in general. In light of recent instances of 'third-term bids,' we revisit the hypothesis about the institutionalisation of power in Africa and challenge the a…

Power-sharing in Africa's war zones
Research on power-sharing in Africa remains silent on the effects of national peace agreements on the sub-national level. Conversely, most armed conflicts originate and are fought in (or over) specific areas. A plausible hypothesis would be that for power-sharing to have the desired pacifying effect throughout the national territory, it needs to be extended to the local level. Based on fieldwork in six former hotspots in Liberia, Burundi and the …
Troubled state-building in the DR Congo
This paper examines contentious state-society and centre-periphery relations in the DR Congo and their implications for state-building. Since the 2006 post-conflict elections, the state's authority has come under fire in the western province of Bas Congo, where a politico-religious group (Bundu Dia Kongo) has emerged as a serious challenger. Enjoying huge local legitimacy, the group has articulated political grievances that the newly elected cent…
Peacekeeping in the Democratic Republic of Congo
The UN peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUC) has been derided as one of the world's least effective peacekeeping forces. This article assesses its performance by using two indicators: mandate implementation and the reduction of human suffering. The analysis shows that effective peacekeeping in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been hampered by two major problems. First, MONUC has had a struggle with, and incons…
Postconflict Reconstruction in Africa
Postconflict state reconstruction has become a priority of donors in Africa. Yet, externally sponsored reconstruction efforts have met with limited achievements in the region. This is partly due to three flawed assumptions on which reconstruction efforts are predicated. The first is that Western state institutions can be transferred to Africa. The poor record of past external efforts to construct and reshape African political and economic institu…

China's engagement in Africa
China's vastly increased involvement in Africa over the past decade is one of the most significant recent developments in the region. It appears to contradict the idea of international marginalisation of Africa and brings significant economic and political consequences. China's Africa interest is part of a recently more active international strategy based on multipolarity and non-intervention. Increased aid, debt cancellation, and a boom in Chine…
The hidden costs of power-sharing
This article analyzes some factors underlying the spread of insurgent violence in Africa. It focuses on the impact external factors have on power struggles on the continent. The first of these is the unsteady support for democracy from Western donors, which has impeded more far-reaching domestic changes in much of Africa. Second are wider changes in the international setting that dramatically enhanced the international standing of armed movements…
A reconfiguration of political order? The state of the state in North Kivu (DR Congo)
This paper argues that warlord or ‘non‐state’ politics have not brought about as fundamental a political transformation as recent discourses about violent ‘state collapse’ in Africa seem to suggest. In the context of the territorial break‐up of the central state in the DR Congo, it examines the reconfiguration of political power in North Kivu in the extreme weakness of formal state structures and looks at the strategies of local actors to deal wi…
