Mainstreaming reparations in African regionalism from the Organisation of African Unity to the African Union
This paper examines the conditions under which reparations have become a key issue in African regionalism. It argues that African regionalism has historically attempted to make reparations a mainstream issue, but this process has been expedited over the past decade and especially in the last five years with the start of a reparations agenda that is simultaneously liberal, radical, decolonial, and Pan-African. This rapid development benefitted fro…
Bureaucratic Acquiescence as an Institutional Strategy in the African Union
The paper conceptualizes acquiescence as a strategy bureaucrats adopt to deal with contestation between themselves and political leaders. The literature on bureaucratic politics argues that policy outcomes result from a game of bargaining between bureaucrats and political leaders. These actors employ diverse strategies like bargaining for more authority, exploiting loopholes, challenging the political class, and, at other times, using the threat …
Biological citizenship through litigation: Ebola survivors in Sierra Leone and the suit to redefine corruption
This paper examines how Ebola survivors in Sierra Leone are enacting biological citizenship to effect responsive and accountable engagement with their government. Disaster survivors are often left without avenues to hold policymakers accountable, but, recently, injured or disabled people have taken legal action against their governments over issues such as negligence, delays, damaged property, and death. However, in Sierra Leone, members of the E…
Building Africa’s Homegrown Humanitarian Systems: Restoration as an Alternative to Localization
Many humanitarian actors now recognize that it is crucial to build response structures on the basis of the norms, knowledge, and institutions of those affected by disasters. Currently, this concept has been captured through the term localization. However, the use of localization both as a term and process has so far been done without critical reflection on the traditional meaning of the term, and the impact of its historical application. It has a…
Membership accession in the African Union: The relationship between enforcement and compliance, and the case for differential membership
It is argued in this paper that the level of non-compliance is high in the Organisation of African Unity/African Union in part because the organisation failed to institute and enforce strict membership accession conditionalities. Across the life of the organisation, this has resulted in non-compliance, mainly the non-payment of dues and non-implementation of policies. This position adds a historical dimension to arguments that identify weak econo…
Donor-induced depoliticisation of development implementation: The case of Ghana's Compact I
Based on empirical evidence from a donor-funded project in Ghana, this article demonstrates that when development implementation is depoliticised, targets will likely be achieved within budget and on time. Funded and supervised by the Millennium Challenge Corporation of the United States, Ghana Compact I has been recommended as a model for future development implementation. This article is an attempt to explain this success, compared to select so…
