African Studies Keyword: Oil
Oil is a metonym for terms in books and articles in diverse disciplines in African studies. Some portray oil as a causal agent that thrusts formerly low-income countries into the highly competitive neoliberal global economy. Others present it according to the oil curse/blessing binary. As a curse, petroleum causes dysfunctional and costly behavior. But increased revenues from oil just as certainly result in concrete improvements demonstrating a r…

Oil and Water? Elite Politicians and Corruption in France
When Edouard Balladur became prime minister of France in 1993 during the second period of Socialist-Gaullist cohabitation, he demanded that President Fran?ois Mitterrand give him power to appoint the CEO of the state-owned oil company Elf Aquitaine. While Elf had always been an instrument of foreign policy, a less well known aspect of its operations was as a source of campaign finance for political par ties, notably the Gaullist Rally for the Rep…
The Self-Restraining State: Power and Accountability in New Democracies
Commerce, Politics, and Business Associations in Benin and Togo
An effervescence rivaling only the period following World War II animates contemporary associational life in Africa. Conceivably, this organizational liveliness is due to a reformist civil society that emerged organically from transitions to democracy after 1990.' Skeptics dismiss the political participation of indigenous voluntary associations in Africa; they prefer to view transitions from authoritarian rule as a response to pressures from inte…
Une si petite démocratisation pour le Togo
La démocratisation du régime Eyadéma a tourné au chaos sanglant et à sa restauration. Si l'incroyable division et les erreurs de stratégie de l'opposition expliquent cette situation, l'attitude de Paris aussi qui, coincé entre la conditionnalité démocratique affichée à La Baule et son soutien traditionnel au despote togolais, a préféré militer contre le changement politique qu'il a fini pas redouter
Social Origins of National Conferences in Benin and Togo
Political life in Africa was described 25 years ago as ‘an almost institutionless arena with conflict and disorder as its most prominent features’. However, the wave of national conferences in Africa in the current decade would have been inconceivable without the various institutions and beliefs that have persisted despite the prevalence of dictatorship. These ‘fragments of democracy’ have been manifest in trade union movements, voluntary associa…
