Class, State, and Prebendal Politics in Nigeria
The expulsion of well over a million unregistered aliens from Nigeria in January 1983 abruptly conveyed to world opinion that the country was in the throes of a severe crisis. This chapter examines the shift to a mono-mineral export economy, the socio-economic proclivities of the dominant class, the considerable expansion in the state's economic role, and the distinct pattern of competition for access to public resources in all sectors of Nigeria…
Autonomous Learning in the Workplace
Autonomous learning in the workplace is an edited book that explores the shifting world of workplace learning. The editors’ interest in their topic was derived from two insights (p. 2). First, appr
Leadership BS: Fixing workplaces and careers one truth at a time
This is a sobering book. It provides many insights into why work in organisations can, at times, be so miserable and why leaders, on whom we often pin our hopes and careers, frequently disappoint
Witnessing Africa's Woes and Hopes
Witnessing Africa’s Woes and Hopes Richard Joseph (bio) A Continent for the Taking: The Tragedy and Hope of Africa. By Howard W. French. Knopf, 2004. 304 pp. In contemporary Africa, hope and tragedy often seem strangely to coincide. The unfolding tragedy in the western Sudanese province of Darfur—whether called genocide or ethnic cleansing on a horrific scale—came to widespread world attention just as a negotiated settlement of Sudan's twenty-yea…

Fascinated by the Future: Interpreting Australian Telecommunications Policy Debates
Rhetoric about the future has been a prominent theme in many areas of discussion about technology and change. As societies enter periods of change and uncertainty there is a growing need to deal with the future. This has been the case in the area of telecommunications policy in Australia but this feature of discourse is often taken for granted or not seen as problematic. This paper has two goals. First, it aims to analyse the significance of disc…

A Laureate’s Lament Richard Joseph (bio) The Open Sore of a Continent: A Personal Narrative of the Nigerian Crisis. By Wole Soyinka. Oxford University Press, 1996. 176 pp. In 1986, Wole Soyinka was the pride of Nigeria: the first black African writer to receive the Nobel prize for literature. A decade later, he is a rebel in the eyes of his country’s government. This is not a new experience for him. His first act of “rebellion” was an attempt to …
Australian Telecommunications Policy in an International Context: Issues for the Future
Australian telecommunications policy is undergoing a period of rapid change. Policy statements released to date have placed emphasis on competition and liberalisation but with a focus on the domestic situation. Australia's involvement in international telecommunications policy change has received less attention than domestic telecommunications reform issues. It is argued in this paper that the success of what Australia wants to achieve nationally…
The Politics of Telecommunications Reform in New Zealand
This paper presents an historical account of the reforms to New Zealand's telecommunications policy which have occurred since 1986. The history is set around three stages: the period leading up to the review of the New Zealand Post Office in 1986; the corporatisation and subsequent privatisation of Telecom New Zealand in 1990; and, the implementation of the so-called ‘light-handed’ regulatory regime since 1990. This paper focuses on the period up…

New Ways to Make Technology Parks More Relevant
High technology policy has become a central feature of many national and regional strategies for encouraging industrial development. One of the more high profile instruments for implementing high technology policy supported by governments and regional authorities has been the technology park - a refinement of the familiar industrial park concept. The global recession, coupled with the failure of high technology policies in many countries, has now…
The Politics of Telecommunications Reform in Australia
The structure and organisation of many national and international telecommunications networks around the world has undergone considerable change in recent years. These changes have been characterised as part of the global trend away from the traditional regulation of telecommunications towards a so-called ‘deregulated’ environment. This article looks at the recent history of the process of change and reform which has occurred in telecommunication…
Africa: The Rebirth of Political Freedom
Africa:The Rebirth of Political Freedom Richard Joseph (bio) For the vast majority of Africans, colonial rule is now something known mainly from history books. What they know from experience is postcolonial rule, with its single parties, military regimes, presidents-for-life, extensive security establishments, and glaring inequities. For these populations, a virtual miracle is taking place: the consummation of what is now widely called "a second …
Silicon Valley myth and the origins of technology parks in Australia
The policy-making process is characterised by uncertainty, complexity and the need for political agreement. Language plays a central role in politics, especially the symbolic forms of political myth and ritual. Political myth is a widely-believed set of unquestioned political beliefs that gives events and actions a particular meaning. Ritual is the practical ‘acting-out’ of the beliefs and values expressed in myth. Political myths about technolog…
The Politics of High Technology in Australia
The high technology debate in Australia since 1981 is analysed using one of the most prominent features of the debate — he political rhetoric and symbols used in the debate. This form of analysis emphasises both instrumental and expressive political activity. The high technology debate is seen as having a significant expressive component and function. Most of the advocacy for high technology came as a result of institutional pressures and efforts…
Democracy and prebendal politics in Nigeria: The rise and fall of the Second Republic
Market Failure and Government Support for Science and Technology: Economic Theory Versus Political Practice
The economic justification for government support for science and technology has been commonly based on the concept of market failure. The general theoretical argument is that governments should intervene in cases where the free market fails to achieve an efficient allocation of resources. In this paper, the inadequacies of the concepts of market failure as they apply to policy are outlined. Its use in the political process, given these restricti…

Democratization under Military Tutelage: Crisis and Consensus in the Nigerian 1979 Elections
Political regimes and systems in Africa have changed at least as rapidly as the theories that have been advanced to explain their very nature. No sooner had the independence governments been installed in the early 1960s than a series of military coups, or the gradual erosion of constitutional provisions, resulted in the establishment of authoritarian regimes in most countries in the continent. Two decades after independence, one scholar was willi…

The German Question in French Cameroun, 1919-1939
The study of imperial rivalries is progressing at a rapid rate as more national archives become available and more researchers enter the field. But this progress tends too often to be a linear one, teaching us more about the aspirations, strategies and accomplishments of the rival powers but little about what took place within the actual pieces of territory over which they contested. And this is understandable, because whereas the former domain c…

Affluence and Underdevelopment: The Nigerian Experience
There is a well-known story that is regularly acted out in many countries of the world. An individual suddenly wins a large fortune - from a lottery or horse race - and is catapulted from rags to riches. After a few years of dissipation, the money has been squandered, the physical and mental health of the nouveau riche broken, and the glorious future of unlimited possibilities constricted into a bleak vista of regret and recrimination. At the mom…

Settlers, Strikers and Sans-Travail: The Douala Riots of September 1945
The outbreak of World War II is generally regarded as having had profound consequences for the future of the colonial world. These consequences are usually linked to such largely external factors as the signing of the Atlantic Charter, the participation of colonial subjects in Allied armies, and the demands made for political reforms by colonial officials and metropolitan political groups. Of equal importance for the rapid pace of political chang…
