International organisations and arrested democratisation: Equatorial Guinea and the accession to the CPLP
Elite strategy in resilient authoritarianism: Equatorial Guinea, 1979–2023
The Equatoguinean dictatorship under Teodoro Obiang Nguema has spanned forty-four years, making him the longest-serving current head of state. Since his entry to power through a 1979 coup, Obiang has evolved in his style of governance. First ruling through a military junta, then a single-party regime, and finally competitive authoritarianism. Across these eras, he has relied on a cadre of supporting elites to occupy top spots in the state adminis…
Unita's Post-War Parliamentary Elite: From a Wartime Defeat to a Nationwide Party in Angola
Angola is governed under a presidential system characterised by a weakly institutionalised parliament ruled by the MPLA liberation movement since independence. UNITA, the largest opposition party in parliament, is also a liberation movement and former belligerent in the protracted Angolan civil war. Despite facing an uneven playing field, UNITA has seen its share of parliamentary seats increase in successive post-war elections. This makes it a re…
Hóspede é uma nuvem, passa, mas eu não sou uma nuvem, fico: A estratégia de reabilitação da Unita na política de reconciliação nacional em Angola após 2017
Como é que um partido de oposição, ex-beligerante e perdedor da guerra lida com o seu passado e reabilita a sua força política num regime autoritário resiliente como o de Angola? Neste artigo, procuramos responder a esta questão analisando o caso da UNITA, o maior partido de oposição em Angola, que registra um apoio eleitoral crescente, apesar das narrativas dominantes do MPLA sobre a guerra e a paz e dos vaticínios de uma neutralização política …
Doing Conceptual History in Africa
Employing an innovative methodological toolkit, Doing Conceptual History in Africa provides a refreshingly broad and interdisciplinary approach to African historical studies. The studies assembled here focus on the complex role of language in Africa’s historical development, with a particular emphasis on pragmatics and semantics. From precolonial dynamics of wealth and poverty to the conceptual foundations of nationalist movements, each contribut…
The politics of autocratic survival in Equatorial Guinea: Co-optation, restrictive institutional rules, repression, and international projection
Equatorial Guinea is not only one of the world’s most authoritarian regimes but also a striking case of regime and leader survival. This small, oil-rich state and personalist regime defies conventional wisdom because it is both far more resilient and faces far fewer threats from within the regime and from opposition political parties than other resource-rich states. But how does the regime manage to survive? This study argues that four key mechan…
Polaridades expoliadoras: La escritura sobre la colonización del cuerpo
Este texto tiene como objetivo analizar la representación del cuerpo como una construcción verbal en tres novelas del escritor Castro Soromenho (A Chaga, Terra Morta y Viragem) que relatan el sistema colonial portugués en Angola durante el Estado Nuevo, bajo los regímenes de la asimilación y del trabajo forzado. Los cuerpos de los colonizados se representan socialmente como productos para ser utilizados, transformados y negados, constituyendo est…
A ilha do mar Atlante, de Juan Tomás Ávila Laurel: Autobiografia e ciberativismo ensaístico na Guiné Equatorial
Neste texto, dedicado ao escritor Juan Tomás Ávila Laurel, destaca-se a sua posição no campo da literatura da Guiné Equatorial, por se tratar do escritor crítico da ditadura de Teodoro Obiang com mais visibilidade internacional que vive no país, circunstância que ganha contornos mais marcados devido ao seu ciberativismo. Baseando-se essencialmente em registos ensaísticos e no romance autobiográfico Arde el Monte de Noche, este texto procura probl…
