The politics of development
Anthropology has consistently struggled with its role as a trustee of a ‘global liberal project’. Against this backdrop, this chapter examines the relationship of political anthropology to the politics of development through the prism of a long-term process – incomplete and perhaps ultimately unsuccessful – of disassociating anthropology from the (post)colonial project of domination through improvement. The chapter scrutinizes such a potential de…
Anthropology
This chapter briefly discusses identity politics and issues of public authority in local political arenas. There is no self-evident consensus on what constitutes genuine anthropology. For some, anthropology is defined by its fieldwork-based methodology; for others, it is its nonreductionist commitment to fleshing out complex causalities from the empirical foliage of thick description. For others still, anthropology is simply a general social scie…
Les juristes, le politique et la fabrique de la légalité postcoloniale. Un cas d’étude zambien
Cet article propose une analyse se démarquant du récit libéral sur l’articulation logique entre les mobilisations politiques des professions juridiques et l’émergence d’un gouvernement démocratique. Il se base sur les trajectoires de juristes zambiens et leurs relations avec l’État et la société civile afin d’analyser comment ils ont répondu à la dérégulation politique et économique à la suite de la Guerre froide. Il s’agit ainsi de renouveler la…
Introduction to the Topelia African Studies Seminar Series
Topelia is a complex on the University of Helsinki downtown campus that houses most of the 'non-European' research areas in the Humanities and Social Sciences faculties. The idea for an African Studies Seminar was hatched in the spring of 2007. The initiative was prompted by the news that a lecturer's position in African Studies at the Institute for Asian and African Studies, one of the Topelia departments, was to be scrapped. Reflecting on the d…
Strong Bar, Weak State? Lawyers, Liberalism and State Formation in Zambia
Members of the legal profession exercise potent, though largely hidden, influence on political processes in modern societies. This is taken for granted with respect to established democracies but the political agency of lawyers remains a largely unstudied phenomenon in post-colonial Africa. This contribution interrogates the role of Zambian lawyers and their Law Association in recent political developments in that country. The central focus of th…
Beyond 'Negotiation' Challenges of Participatory Projects for the Anthropology of Development
The notion of 'negotiated development' implies the 'unpacking' of a predetermined technological package by local brokers in accordance with their own needs and interests. Studies elaborating this proposition have given rise to a stimulating literature which generally defends the thesis that development interventions must be studied as only one element of a broader process of social change . I have been much inspired by the methodological foundati…
