The World Bank and Rural Land Titling in Africa: The Case of Tanzania
In 2021, the World Bank, in association with the Tanzanian Ministry of Lands, Housing and Human Settlements Development, added yet another chapter to the long and contentious history of land tenure reform in Tanzania. It approved US$ 150 million for the second phase of a village-wide individual titling pilot programme that employs new technologies for surveying under the rubric of a private sector competitiveness project. This article assesses th…
Perceptions among diabetic patients in the ultra-orthodox Jewish community regarding medication adherence: A qualitative study
The findings of this study may help provide an in-depth understanding of the obstacles and motives of ultra-Orthodox patients in adhering to medicinal treatment of diabetes in particular and to medicinal treatment in general, thus helping family physicians who treat this population provide optimal and appropriate treatment
The rise of “behavioral man”: Randomized controlled trials and the “new” development agenda
Despite their ostensible differences, both randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and neoclassical economics, which undergirds neoliberalism, are characterized by unrealistic assumptions. This is not accidental but stems from a common desire for scientism, despite a substitution of “economic man” by what we call “behavioral man” in the former. However, the interactions between human behavior and context produce much greater diversity than allowed fo…
Institutionalizing neoclassical economics in Africa: Instruments, ideology and implications
Post-war development economics drew broadly from an array of different theoretical approaches, including theorizing from the south. Academic economists and policy makers in African countries openly and critically debated alternative possibilities from different theoretical traditions. As the multi-paradigmatic approach was under assault, the great development economist Albert Hirschman reminded us, in 1981, that this transcendence beyond monoecon…

Introduction: The Dynamics of Liberalization in Tanzania
Tanzania continues to be at the center of a major debate on the precise nature and path of development. The ability of the political leadership to implement an International Monetary Fund program that conflicts with Tanzania's previous goals reflects an aspect of the political economy of Tanzania that requires investigation as the liberalization program unfolds. The legal entity called Tanzania is a union between the mainland country of Tanganyik…
Between dependence and deprivation: The interlocking nature of land alienation in Tanzania
Studies of accumulation by dispossession in the Global South tend to focus on individual sectors, for example, large-scale agriculture or nature conservation. Yet smallholder farmers and pastoralists are affected by multiple processes of land alienation. Drawing on the case of Tanzania, we illustrate the analytical purchase of a comprehensive examination of dynamics of land alienation across multiple sectors. To begin with, processes of land alie…
The Formal Divide: Customary Rights and the Allocation of Credit to Agriculture in Tanzania
It is generally held that one mechanism to enable inclusive growth in Tanzania is enabling farmers to access credit to raise productivity and incomes. The formalisation of property rights in Tanzania is being undertaken by a multiplicity of actors at great expense to donors, individuals and the government. While there have been a variety of different justifications for allocating Certificates of Customary Rights of Occupancy (CCROs) to farmers in…
World Bank agricultural policies, poverty and income inequality in Sub-Saharan Africa
The original logic underlying the World Bank's structural adjustment policies in Africa was that the removal of state-created distortions would not only improve efficiency in the operation of markets but also enhance income equality and reduce poverty. The paper explores the linkage between adjustment and the deteriorating income distribution and rising poverty in sub-Saharan Africa with a focus on the rural sector where most of the population ea…
Ownership and Donorship: Analytical Issues and a Tanzanian Case Study
During the 1990s development funders 1 officially incorporated into their rhetoric the ideal of passing control of the design, implementation, and monitoring of projects and programmes to recipient ‘stakeholders’, 2 a goal summarised in the term ‘national ownership’. Ownership has joined a list of funder-agency concerns that in recent years has included governance, institutions, poverty reduction, sustainable development, participation, and decen…

The Surface of Organizational Boundaries: A View from Psychoanalytic Object Relations Theory
Organizational life contains many influences. Among these are its many divisions, sections, departments, professions and groups. The presence of these constituent parts of an organization directs attention to the points at which they connect to each other. Contemporary discussion of the relationship of these parts is confined to exploring organizational boundaries that contain a conceptual concreteness that belies their ultimate experiential sign…

Japanese aid to Africa: Patterns, motivation and the role of structural adjustment
In 1989 Japan surpassed United States as the world's largest contributor of overseas development assistance (ODA). While there has been considerable material on Japanese aid to Asia, comparatively little has been written on Japanese assistance to Africa. The article attempts to expand the literature by generating and analysing a data set on ODA to each African country from 1959 to 1994. The data indicate an overwhelming influence of structural ad…

On Relativity Theory and Openness of the Future
It has been repeatedly argued, most recently by Nicholas Maxwell, that the special theory of relativity is incompatible with the view that the future is in some degree undetermined; and Maxwell contends that this is a reason to reject that theory. In the present paper, an analysis is offered of the notion of indeterminateness (or “becoming”) that is uniquely appropriate to the special theory of relativity, in the light of a set of natural conditi…

Crash involvement of large trucks by configuration: A case-control study
For a two-year period, large truck crashes on the interstate system in Washington State were investigated using a case-control method. For each large truck involved in a crash, three trucks were randomly selected for inspection from the traffic stream at the same time and place as the crash but one week later. The effects of truck and driver characteristics on crashes were assessed by comparing their relative frequency among the crash-involved an…
Theories of the State in Tanzania: A Critical Assessment
InFebruary 1967, Tanzania, formed from the union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar, declared its intention to purpue a policy of 'socialism' and self-reliance. In the famous Arusha Declaration, the Tanganyika African National Union called for the Government to exercise control over the means of production and move away from over-reliance on foreign assistance in development. It stressed the need to strengthen agriculture and thereby improve the lives of…
On the Paradoxical Time-Structures of Gödel
Gödel's conclusion that time-travel is possible in his models of Einstein's gravitational theory has been questioned by Chandrasekhar and Wright, and treated as doubtful in the recent philosophical literature. The present note is intended to remove this doubt: a review of Gödel's construction shows that his arguments are entirely correct; and the objection is seen to rest upon a misunderstanding. Computational points treated succinctly by Gödel a…

Structural Adjustment, Human Needs, and the World Bank Agenda
The economic crisis of the 1970s in sub-Saharan Africa led to a critical evaluation of the rôle of government policies by international agencies, including two contrasting views of the problem by the Economic Commission for Africa/Organisation of African Unity and the World Bank. The E.C.A./O.A.U. largely placed the blame on the deteriorating external environment, emphasising the reduction of income inequality, poverty, and unemployment through a…

The "Brazilian Miracle," A Tarnished Image
This study is a contribution to literature which critically examines the role of global multinational corporations in relation to the so-called Brazilian miracle. This volume contains a series of studies aimed at illustrating the culpability of these corporations (in alliance with the military state) in creating the conditions of superexploitation and degradation imposed on the working class during the post-coup period. Particular articles focus …
