Normative leadership and constrained idealism
This study investigates how Tanzania, a non-donor state in the Global South, strategically deploys humanitarian diplomacy (HD) to advance foreign policy objectives while navigating structural constraints and normative commitments. Drawing on 31 semi-structured interviews, policy document analysis, and thematic coding across Dodoma, Kigoma, and Dar es Salaam (July 2023–July 2024), the research reveals that Tanzania blends Pan-African solidarity, l…
Towards unlearning colonial practices? Muddling through academic collaborations among Tanzania, Zambia and Finland
Extensive research has called for transformations to increase equity in, and decolonising of, North–South academic collaborations characterised by power asymmetries. However, less attention has been paid to everyday practices through which collaborators ‘muddle through’ extant funding constraints, university bureaucracies and institutionalised hierarchies when pursuing shared goals. Drawing on the lenses of unlearning colonial practices and decol…
Civic space and its effects on advocacy Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Tanzania
Global trends show that the civic space is shrinking. Specifically, civic space for Civil Society Organizations draws more attention. The shrinkage is caused by increased authoritarianism and democratic backsliding. Experience shows that advocacy based Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are more affected. The situation in Tanzania is comparable to other parts of the world. However, literature in Tanzania does not establish experiences to chara…
Communities and Habits of Citizenship
This chapter contributes to the debates concerning contextualized conceptualizations of citizenship. Based on the work of pragmatist philosopher John Dewey, it offers a definition of citizenship as constructed in everyday communities in the course of taking care of shared issues. Further, it examines the habits of citizenship that are both acquired and reformulated in the processes of participation in these communities. The empirical example of v…
Hybrid Identities of Development Studies in Tanzania
This article addresses identities, hierarchies of knowledge and power relations in academia in postcolonial settings, in the context of development studies in Tanzania. Based on literatures on organizational identity and postcolonial hybridity, it establishes a conceptual lens of hybrid identity, scrutinizing how the identity of the discipline of development studies is constructed. Based on analysis of interviews with staff in development studies…
Disrupting habits of North–South research collaboration
Institutional Learning in North–South Partnerships
Knowledge production and its possibilities and pitfalls in North–South research partnerships have gained increasing attention. The previous literature has identified certain pervasive challenges, and suggested a variety of ways to change partnerships, ranging from improvement of current collaboration activities to fundamental transformation of the hegemonic Eurocentric criteria for knowledge. Against this backdrop, we ask what kinds of learning c…
