The Wrong Hands
Contraband
Andrew Wender Cohen offers a new twist on a familiar story in Contraband. By focusing on smugglers, corrupt politicians, zealous customs officials, and unscrupulous businessmen, Cohen provides a refreshing look at the contentious debate over the tariff that dominated much of nineteenth-century American economic and political history. Rarely though are the smugglers he depicts the romanticized swashbuckling pirates or corsairs of popular fiction a…
Electoral Politics in Africa
The neighbouring African states of Zambia and Zimbabwe have seen major changes to their systems of power following a series of elections between February 2000 and March 2002. These elections produced dramatic shifts in the balance between ruling parties and opposition forces, and challenged the continuance of powerful executive presidencies and one-party dominant political systems. The article explores the setting in which these electoral shifts …
New Labour and international development
The presidential election in gabon
The Gabon presidential election of December 1998
In the article below, the authors look at Gabon as a recent case study of election monitoring in a sub‐Saharan African state
Decentralisation and public sector reform in Zambia
After defeating the incumbent United National Independence Party (UNIP) in November 1991 in the first multi‐party general election in nearly a quarter century, the Movement for Multi‐Party Democracy (MMD) won a resounding victory in all provinces save one in local government elections a year later. These elections were held under the Local Government Act of 1991, which had replaced the Local Administration Act of 1980 and provides for a flexible …

Privatisation in Africa
The divestiture of public enterprises has become an increasingly salient issue in Africa. Since the early 1980s, privatisation activity has occurred in most states, with major programmes in one‐third. This pattern of state restructuring has reflected both external and internal pressures, though the former have played by far the more dynamic role. Given the diverse national, class and regional interests it touches upon, divestiture remains not jus…
An African Dilemma
The Consumer in Commercial Banking . Henrietta Cooper Jennings
An American Foreign Investment Policy
T HE international financial mechanism has been completely and thoroughly shattered. Until that mechanism is mended, and mended by forthright and realistic international co6peration, there will be no international lending operations worthy of discussion. Indeed, unless this mending is done promptly and effectively, we may as well dismiss the subject with the assertion that it is merely a matter of time, and a short time at that, until all the int…
Gold, Capital Movements, and the Dollar
The United States and Gold
British Imperial Preference and the American Tariff
A PRECONCEIVED notion of a limited market plays a significant r6le in shaping the tariff attitude of the typical man on the street. He knows painfully well the precise meaning of competitive losses. The broad fact that the success of his competitors is an important factor in his own success, (since increasing the community's productivity, by which he will benefit, depends on their achievements as much as upon his), is entirely too abstract a conc…
