La justice transitionnelle comme subterfuge: Le cas de la Politique nationale de justice transitionnelle de l’Ouganda
Pourquoi le gouvernement ougandais a-t-il adopté une Politique nationale de justice transitionnelle, sachant qu’il a lui-même été impliqué dans des actes de violence à l’endroit de la population et que l’une des composantes de la justice transitionnelle est la recherche de la vérité? À l’aide d’entretiens conduits avec des acteurs pertinents en Ouganda et de l’analyse de documents clés, cet article postule que le gouvernement voulait répondre aux…

Navigating Ambiguity: Reproductive Justice and the Restriction of Abortion Rights, LGBTI+ Rights, and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in Zambia
In Zambia, religious nationalists exploit legal and policy ambiguities to construct abortion and LGBTI+ rights as un-Zambian and un-Christian. This delegitimization narrows the scope of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) to family planning. Drawing on forty-five in-depth interviews with Zambian stakeholders and international aid officials, we argue that while these ambiguities constrain reproductive justice, they also allow activist…

Global Frictions: Foreign Aid, Donor–Recipient Relations and LGBT+ Rights in Tanzania
In 2018, a Tanzanian government official announced a crackdown on homosexuality. International actors rapidly expressed their disapproval and temporarily suspended some foreign aid, which elicited a negative response from the Tanzanian government and soured donor–recipient relations. The incident was short‐lived, however, and expressed mainly at the symbolic level and does not appear to have achieved any change in policies or practices either amo…
Escaping the multicultural trap: Strategic litigation and the decriminalization of same-sex relations in Mauritius
LGBTQI+ People and the ‘Triple Nexus’ of Development Cooperation, Humanitarian Action and Peacebuilding
Since the mid-2010s, scholars and practitioners have been increasingly interested in the integration of development cooperation, humanitarian action and peacebuilding, known as the ‘triple nexus’ approach. In parallel, the necessity of including sexual and gender minorities in these three areas has also garnered growing attention, recognizing the marginalization and specific needs of LGBTQI+ people. This critical literature review examines both s…
The decriminalization of same-sex relations in Botswana: National, regional and international dimensions of LGBTQI+ activism
This article examines the first instance in the past 25 years of the decriminalization of same-sex relations in Africa via strategic litigation. It asks: What are the main factors that contributed to decriminalization in Botswana in 2019? What relative role did national, regional and international actors play? Drawing in part on interviews with key actors and observers in Southern Africa, it argues that Botswanan LGBTQI+ activists’ efforts outsid…

When development cooperation principles clash: Country ownership and LGBTQI+ inclusion in hostile environments
In some instances, two basic development cooperation principles appear to be in direct contradiction: on the one hand, the Sustainable Development Goals prescribe universal social inclusion under the leitmotif of “leave no one behind”, mandating an emphasis on the most marginalized. On the other hand, the cornerstone of development cooperation is “ownership”, which recognizes that countries must be free to choose their own priorities and strategi…
Visibility or Impact? International Efforts to Defend LGBTQI+ Rights in Africa
Most struggles for LGBTQI+ rights play out at the national level. However, the question of sexual and gender minorities’ rights periodically appears as a point of friction in international relations as well. This article analyses the question of international efforts to defend LGBTQI+ rights in countries of the Global South, with a particular focus on Western countries’ endeavours in Africa. Combining policy analysis, critique and recommendations…
Covid-19 vaccine apartheid and the failure of global cooperation
The equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines is one of the most important tests of global cooperation that the world has faced in recent decades. Collectively, global leaders failed that crucible abysmally, creating a 'vaccine apartheid' that divided the world according to income into countries with widespread access and those without. Why, given that leaders were fully aware of the risks and injustice of vaccine inequity, did governments of w…
Mining self-interest? Canadian foreign aid and the extractive sector in Mongolia
In the early 2010s, the Canadian government increasingly integrated commercial self-interest into its foreign aid program. This article analyzes the ostensible motives and impact of the rapid intensification of Canada's support to the extractive sector in Mongolia. It argues that, rather than a reflection of Mongolia’s needs, the decision was donor-driven and resulted in apparently poorly designed projects with limited potential to advance Canadi…
The atmosfearics of scaryscapes: Retail tourism goes gothic
In a pandemic-warped world, consumer culture is characterized by an atmosphere of fear, which is found in all sorts of unsettling spaces. This paper explores the “atmosfearic scaryscape” of a retail brand that bestrides the globe and, with the aid of a classic Gothic trope considers the fear-full, fun-filled feelings it evokes. Situated at the interface of tourism and retailing, humour and horror, darkness and light, the research focuses on a fas…
Attitude and Achievement of First-Year Chemistry Undergraduate Students at The University of the South Pacific
Student attitude toward chemistry may influence engagement and achievement in chemistry-related courses, however, equivocal results in studies conducted in Western countries to date indicate this relationship requires further investigation. In this study, we investigated the correlation between attitude toward chemistry and achievement amongst a cohort of first-year undergraduate students from The University of the South Pacific (USP). A cluster …
What’s the story, allegory
If ever a literary genre were made for consumer research, that literary genre is allegory. The word comes from the Ancient Greek allegoreo, meaning to speak of the other in the marketplace. Building on the pioneering research of Barbara B. Stern, this article considers the character and characteristics of allegorical storytelling. It does so by means of an empirical study of a richly storied apparel brand, Hollister (HCo), whose sudden rise and r…

Substance use, intimate partner violence, history of incarceration and vulnerability to HIV among young Black men who have sex with men in a Southern US city
In this longitudinal qualitative study we explored the lived experiences of young Black men who have sex with men in Dallas, Texas in relation to methamphetamine use, intimate partner violence and a history of incarceration as syndemic conditions that may contribute to their risk of transmitting or acquiring HIV. We conducted a total of 106 interviews (four repeat interviews every six months) with a cohort of 30 participants. Some reported condom…
The impact of Covid-19 on development assistance
This article analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on foreign aid. Using examples from Canadian foreign aid, it argues that, despite the terrible toll it is exacting, the crisis has accelerated some significant positive pre-existing trends, both by destabilizing the perception of aid as flowing essentially from the Global North to Global South and by reinforcing awareness of the importance of joint efforts for global public goods and human…
Foreign aid, the mining sector and democratic ownership: The case of Canadian assistance to Peru
The Rise and Fall of the Aid Effectiveness Norm
This article analyzes the rise and fall of the aid effectiveness norm, using the lens of Finnemore and Sikkink’s norm ‘life cycle’. I argue that, although donors and recipients endorsed the founding principles, the norm was only feebly internalized: they were unwilling to overcome their reluctance—and important disincentives—to substantially change their practices on the ground. After the norm cascaded, the donor-led process sought to gain legiti…
Aid donors, democracy and the developmental state in Ethiopia
The “developmental state” has become a prominent alternative development model defended by contemporary Western aid donors, particularly in Africa. Purported “developmental states,” such as Ethiopia and Rwanda, are argued to possess strong-willed, visionary leaderships whose commitment to delivering on ambitious development plans renders them attractive donor partners. These leaderships are also, however, often authoritarian and unapologetic when…
Sexual orientation and gender identity in Canada's "feminist" international assistance
Canada's Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP), launched in June 2017, marks the first time that sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) have been mentioned in an overarching Canadian aid policy. The inclusion of SOGI in the policy document sent an important signal to domestic and international development partners on the need to consider these sources of discrimination and marginalization. This article asks two basic research que…
Up Rising: Rehabilitating J.G. Ballard’s High-Rise with R.D. Laing and Lauren Berlant
High-Rise by J.G. Ballard intriguingly contains a pivotal character named Dr. Robert Laing, surely an allusion to the then influential psychiatric writer, Dr. R.D. Laing. Re-reading Ballard's classic text through the prism of Laing’s theories, with further explication of the role of flat affect via Lauren Berlant, this article presents a new interpretation of a classic text that argues that Ballard ingeniously misdirected his readers into making …
Titanic: Consuming the Myths and Meanings of an Ambiguous Brand
Myths have come of age in consumer research.In the 22 years since Levy's inaugural article, the literature has grown at an impressive rate.Yet important questions remain unanswered: What makes some myths especially meaningful to consumers?Why are certain consumer myths more prevalent and less perishable than others?This article argues that ambiguity is an influential factor.Using the RMS Titanic as an empirical exemplar, it unpacks the principal …
The Center Cannot Hold: Consuming the Utopian Marketplace: Figure 1
This article draws upon the utopian studies literature to integrate two strands of contemporary consumer research, the study of place and space and the analysis of consumer/marketer relations. Based on a longitudinal study of a festival shopping mall, we provide an emergent theory of how the utopian marketplace is experienced, a theory that hinges around three interlinked conceptual categories: sensing displace, creating playspace, and performing…

Authoritarian leaders and multiparty elections in Africa: How foreign donors help to keep Kenya's Daniel arap Moi in power
This article argues that prior accounts of Moi and KANU's re-election in Kenya's 1992 and 1997 polls overemphasise divisions within the opposition and underestimate the role of international actors. Drawing on interviews with central players and internal donor documents, the author demonstrates that aid donors played a central part not only in initially advancing the cause of multipartyism but subsequently also, on several occasions, actively imp…
Social Class, Child Maltreatment, and Delinquent Behavior
The relationship between social class and child maltreatment and between maltreatment and delinquency were examined, particular attention being paid to previous deficiencies in the operationalization of maltreatment and class. Maltreatment was operationalized with subscales for physical abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect, while social class was operationalized with multiple indicators. Survey data from 110 high school freshmen were analyzed and …
Well, what can you expect: Donor officials' apologetics for hybrid regimes in Africa
Most sub-Saharan African countries are neither liberal democracies, nor fully authoritarian. Officials from Western governments that provide assistance to these ‘hybrid regimes’ often become apologists for their lack of democracy. Rather than cogently arguing why democracy promotion activities should not be a priority, such donor officials frequently claim either that their host country is more democratic than it actually is, or that it could not…

Foreign Aid and National Ownership in Mali and Ghana
This article examines the principle of ownership, the keystone of the 2005 Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness, and its application to the cases of Mali and Ghana. It argues that both countries are characterized by a high level of ownership in its formal sense, that is to say, both have developed their own development plans, rather than having them imposed from outside. However, substantively, ownership is severely hampered by the existence of…
The big fish won't fry themselves: Criminal accountability for post-election violence in Kenya
This article examines the demand for criminal accountability for the atrocities committed after Kenya's contested December 2007 elections. It explains why, despite strong popular desire for accountability through prosecutions and the threat of and actual International Criminal Court (ICC) involvement, the government has failed to take concrete steps to try those believed primarily responsible. The article argues that the fundamental reason why th…
Theorising Kenya's protracted transition to democracy
In their seminal text Transitions from Authoritarian Rule, Guillermo O’Donnell and Philippe Schmitter (1986:6) define a transition as “the interval between one political system and another”. According to the authors, the beginning and end of this process are relatively easy to trace. The transition begins with a split in the authoritarian regime, after which regime elites who believe in the necessity of electoral legitimation become dominant. The…

Dire consequences or empty threats? Western pressure for peace, justice and democracy in Kenya
This paper examines Western countries' pressure – or lack thereof – for peace, justice and democracy in Kenya. It analyzes the period since the 2008 National Accord, which defused the 2007–08 post-election crisis, focusing on the lead-up to and immediate aftermath of the 2013 elections. The paper draws extensively on interviews conducted in 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2013 with Western officials based in Nairobi, as well as informed Kenyans. It argues, …

Donor responses to the 2008 Kenyan crisis: Finally getting it right
This contribution analyses Western governments’ responses to the 2008 Kenyan crisis. It argues that while donors’ reactions to the crisis were a vast improvement over their responses to previous elections and eruptions of political violence, they failed to learn some important lessons from the past and take a more proactive role in preventing violence, notably because they disregarded key governance problems that made violence easily imaginable, …

The instrumentalization of foreign aid under the Harper government
This article examines the main trends in Canadian aid policies from the 2006 election of the Conservatives under Stephen Harper to their defeat in 2015. It finds that the Harper government increasingly instrumentalized Canadian foreign aid, reorienting it to benefit Canadian interests, to the detriment of poverty reduction abroad. This was part of a broader foreign policy that sabotaged Canada’s ability to use its soft power to influence the glob…
The development of a new geospatial framework for the palaeoanthropological site of the Sterkfontein Caves, Cradle of Humankind, Gauteng, South Africa
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) provide an essential element in modern paleoanthropological inquiry through their ability to integrate a diverse range of data within a multidimensional spatial framework which can be used for data storage, analysis and modeling. One of the challenges of creating such a framework is the integration of legacy and new data (collected with digital technologies) at large sites with a long history of research. Th…
Democratisations in Africa: Attempts, hindrances and prospects
This article focuses on four sub-Saharan countries that offer different insights into postcolonial democratic experiences on the continent. Botswana has enjoyed decades of uninterrupted multiparty politics (but single-party rule) under a political system that mixes Western-style liberal democracy with traditional top-down structures. Benin has democratised rapidly and relatively successfully after a long period of dictatorial rule, providing a tr…
Gender, Nationality and Cultural Representations of Ireland: An Irish Woman's Place
Ireland has struggled with its ‘feminine’ identity throughout its history. The so-called ‘chasmic dichotomy of male and female' is embedded in colonial and postcolonial constructions of Irishness and it continues to manifest itself in contemporary cultural representations of Ireland and Irishness. This study explores issues of gender and nationality via a reading of a 70-second television advertisement for Caffrey's Irish Ale, titled ‘New York’. …
The Complex Model of City Centre Retailing: An Historical Application
Despite its conceptual significance, R. L. Davies' complex model of city centre retailing has received relatively few empirical airings.This is largely attributable to its reliance upon the free play of market forces,a state of affairs which rarely pertains in today's highly planned retail environment. The concept, however,may provide a useful insight into the spatial structure of the city centre in periods prior to the present. This paper examin…

Lever-Pressing Performance for Brain Stimulation on F-I and V-I Schedules in a Single-Lever Situation
Rats were trained to lever press for electrical stimulation of the brain (ESB) and ultimately were assigned to either a fixed interval 1 min. (FI-1 min.) or a variable interval 1 min. (VI-1 min.) schedule of reinforcement. All Ss easily attained and maintained responding on the schedule to which they had been assigned. Patterns of responding during training and extinction were similar to those observed when conventional rewards, such as food or w…

This paper addresses the issue of the relationship between social class and delinquency to determine if the discrepancy between findings with official versus selfreport data can he resolved. Methodological suggestions which numerous researchers have suggested might explicate the discrepancy were incorporated. These include the use of a disproportionatc stratified sample to facilitate focus on relativcly serious self-reported delinquent behavior, …
