Democratization: Understanding the Relationship Between Regime Change and the Culture of Politics
The comparative literature on regime change offers a range of plausible explanations for the democratic ferment that began spreading across Africa in 1989. Theorists of democratization in general focus on three areas of conceptual concern: structural and contingent factors that precipitate openings in authoritarian rule. Regimes are the formal rules that link the main political institutions of the state. This chapter characterizes the major strea…
Ralph Bunche and African Studies: Reflections on the Politics of Knowledge
The dominant force in modern Africa is that of change." These words, penned by Ralph Bunche in his 1934 doctoral dissertation (72), prefigured the ethos of what would come to be called, by the 1950s, the new field of African studies. Bunche's thesis, written for Harvard's Department of Government, offered a comparative analysis of French colonial administration in Dahomey (a colony under French rule) and Togoland (a League of Nations Mandate admi…
Democratization: Understanding the Relationship between Regime Change and the Culture of Politics
The comparative literature on regime change offers a range of plausible explanations for the democratic ferment that began spreading across Africa in 1989 (Joseph 1991; Bratton and van de Walle 1992a). Theorists of democratization in general focus on three areas of conceptual concern: structural and contingent factors that precipitate openings in authoritarian rule (Moore 1967; O'Donnell et al. 1986), the relative importance of elite behavior ver…

Members of the diplomatic corps and officials from the international financial instit…
Grassroots Legitimation of Military Governance in Burkina Faso and Niger: The Core Contradictions
Niger: Anatomy of a Neotraditional Corporatist State
The apparent failure of competitive party politics to take root in much of contemporary Africa has not curtailed efforts by military regimes to extend popular participation. Curiously, current scholarship does not adequately reflect the range of such initiatives.' While analysts periodically look for liberalizing trends in Africa's soldier states and are primed to consider the prospects for a return to civilian rule,2 few have examined participat…

The Political Context of Regional Development in the West African Sahel
International political considerations are now an integral part of the fabric of the emerging African state systems. As national governments struggle with the complex problems of institution-building and economic development, they are increasingly obliged to look beyond their existing territorial boundaries. At the same time, it is not unusual to find that the economic, political, and bureaucratic interests of various expatriate government or int…
