Conflict and Peace in the Horn of Africa
ROAPE has commissioned several special issues on the Horn of Africa in the last 25 years. The first in 1984 (No. 30), ‘Conflict in the Horn of Africa’, started off by characterising the hallmark of
Another World is Possible
As 2007 opens, the world's attention is predominantly focused on the worsening crisis and imperialist violence in Iraq and now, too, Somalia. In both cases, the current context has roots in the con
Corporate wealth or public health? WTO/TRIPS flexibilities and access to HIV/Aids antiretroviral drugs by developing countries
Between 1994 and 2003, the TRIPS (Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights) Agreement of the WTO was refined to allow for flexibilities in the use of compulsory licences to import and export ‘generic’ varieties of pharmaceutical products, including ARV drugs for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. After summarising this process, and assessing its implications in practice for developing countries, this article briefly places the current regime…
State, class & civil society in Africa
In the first week of 2006 the British press reported on two events relating to Africa: one emblazoned on front pages, but of little real significance, and the other tucked away on an inside page, o

HIV/Aids in Africa
Of the significance of HIV/AIDS at household, village and community level throughout Africa there can be no doubt. By 2002, the cumulative number of deaths from the disease in Africa had been estimated to be of the order of 19 million (calculated from Barnet & Whiteside, table 1.1 and UNAIDSa), almost 30 million Africans were estimated to be HIV positive, and by 2010 some 6 million of the then total deaths will have been in South Africa alone (Le…

The Ethiopian coffee filiere& its institutions
From the middle of the last century coffee has been the major source of foreign exchange for the Ethiopian economy and its governments. The bulk of production comes from small‐scale peasant producers located in parts of the south, southwest and east of the country, from where it is channelled through a largely privately owned marketing system to auction in Addis Ababa or Dire Dawa. It is then purchased by exporters for further processing and onwa…
The state of the union
This edition of ROAPE (and its editorial) has been put together over a summer 'silly season' that, in terms of global and African events, will have anything but trivial consequences for the future of Africa. In the early summer while the petrol bombs flew outside in Genoa, the cloistered representatives of the G-8 countries pushed their own agendas inexorably onwards. The New African Initiative (NAI) was thought up: yet another set of programmes,…

Changing aid patterns in Southern Africa
The paper argues that the increase in official development assistance to South Africa following its transition to majority rule was largely at the expense of other countries in the region. While this refocusing of aid has been aimed at disadvantaged black groups, it will also reinforce the regional dominance of the South African economy. Aid to Botswana, Lesotho, and Namibia has also become far more concentrated on human resource investment than …

Drought, Dutch disease and controlled transition in Botswana agriculture
The rapid expansion in diamond production in Botswana during the 1980s places the country into that category of economies where the growth of other sectors can be examined only with reference to the direct and indirect impact of the ‘booming sector’. Parallels with the impact of North Sea gas exploitation on non‐gas sectors of the Dutch economy in the 1970s, which came to be known as ‘Dutch disease’, are evident. It is shown that, principally thr…

On the Idea of an International Bantustan
In the Debate raised by Martin Doornbos h ROAPE 69 on the classification of Uganda as an 'international Bantustan' by David Himbara and Dawood Sultan (No 63), I would claim that they are all wrong. Martin Doornbos provides a useful corrective to the unduly pessimistic presentation of the current state of the Ugandan economy and polity that is given by Himbara and Sultan, and is also correct in reminding us of the extensive degree of control exerc…

Funding the Ethiopian state
Two topics have dominated discussion of Ethiopia in recent years. One is the military position in the north and to a lesser extent the east of the country, and the other is the agricultural situation, frequently, but not solely, concerned with famine in Wollo and Tigre. Although these topics are undoubtedly important in any analysis of the current situation, their predominance in discussion has tended to create an imbalance in the overall picture…
