The Emirates' Inroads Into Africa
Africa is a resource‐rich continent. However, the continent is yet to fully benefit from its natural wealth, partly because developed countries have been exploiting its natural wealth and resources in line with the World Systems theory. In recent times, China has successfully exploited Africa's wealth using its technological and capital capabilities through its Belt and Road Initiative as well as by positioning itself as a partner offering “mutua…

Securitization of the mining sector? The role of the armed forces in state interventions in Tanzania
Witchcraft beliefs and conspiracy theorizing
This article suggests that since people who believe in magic and those who believe in conspiracy theories produce meaning and make sense of the world by engaging in the same process of signification, they should be more likely to have one such belief if they hold the other. To test this proposition, we perform both macro‐ and micro‐level analyses using, respectively, cross‐national datasets and an original set of Tanzanian data. Our findings from…
The Impact of Cash Transfers on Intimate Partner Violence
The prevalence of intimate partner violence ( IPV ) among women remains high around the world. Cash transfers ( CT s) are one potential avenue that can be used to reduce violence through women’s empowerment. The present study uses a mixed method, where both quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed to compare the difference in the prevalence of IPV between CT recipients and non-recipients of CT s and among different categories…

Citizens' Trust in Government and Their Greater Willingness to Pay Taxes in Tanzania
This article examines the citizens' trust in government and their willingness to pay taxes to improve public goods/services in Tanzania. Descriptive statistics show that 79.4 percent of the citizens trust the government. The findings show that a citizen's trust in government varies positively and significantly with the quality of public goods/services. An increase of one unit of public service delivery is associated with an increase in a citizen'…
Does Tanzania's Development Trajectory Borrow from the China Model
Tanzania has experienced a remarkable economic growth averaging 6 percent over the past two decades. While this growth is usually associated with the liberalization of the economy that began in the mid‐1980s, the influence of African Socialism in Tanzania cannot be overemphasized. Specifically, Tanzania has mostly been a developmental state focusing on infrastructural push. This article qualitatively analyzes rhetoric from senior political and go…
Women’s employment status and domestic violence in Tanzania
Domestic violence is a crime that affects women across the world. Tanzania is no exception. However, only a few studies have examined the relationship between domestic violence and women’s employment status in Tanzania. Moreover, such studies have methodological limitations. Using a 2‐stage linear probability model on a nationally representative sample, this study shows that the impact of women’s employment status on reducing domestic violence is…
The Impact of Cash Transfers on Women's Empowerment
Social cash transfer (CT) programs are widely promoted around the world as effective instruments for poverty reduction. Unfortunately, they are rarely examined in a rigorous fashion to determine their purported impact. It is in this context that a mixed method was employed in the present study on a panel data set collected between 2015 and 2017 to examine the impact of the Tanzania Social Action Fund’s (TASAF) CT program on women’s empowerment. R…
Resource nationalism in Tanzania
Poor Quality of Data in Africa
One of the problems that scholars encounter when conducting research is that data from Africa are poor. Indeed, they either do not exist in a complete sense or they are not of good quality in the sense of lacking validity and reliability. Using various sources of available data on corruption and tourism, we show that lack of quality data in Africa not only limits the continent’s ability to generate a pertinent body of knowledge but also prevents …

Tourism, Development and Inequality
For most of the post-WWII era, scholars have attempted to understand, define, and measure development. A large and growing body of work has in fact investigated its causes and the consequences and has dissented as to whether tourism represents a proper determinant of growth and development. Yet, while scholars have started investigating the contribution that tourism can make to economic growth and development from the 1970s onward, considerably l…
P ublic A ccounts C ommittees in E astern and S outhern A frica
This article provides the first and most comprehensive analysis of P ublic A ccounts C ommittees ( PACs ) from E astern and S outhern A frica building on the work of M c G ee, J acobs, S tapenhurst, and S taddon. By analyzing an original set of data, this article shows that PAC s in these two regions are bigger, have more staff members, and are more likely to be chaired by opposition M embers of P arliament than they have in other countries and r…
Strengthening Legislatures
There is universal agreement among development stakeholders that parliaments play a crucial role in enhancing good governance, economic growth, and development as well as the general quality of democracy. It follows from this fact that several international organizations ( IO s) have embarked in activities that seek to strengthen legislative capacity. However, we note that there is a lack of consensus—among IO s and in key literature—on the right…
