Governance Challenges in the Face of Transformation
Globalization and Africa's Regional and Local Responses
As a response to globalization, the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) is indicative of a new awareness among African leaders that they must respond in ways that create empowering opportunities for African societies to benefit from, rather than be victims of, globalization. Following a review of Africa's responses to previous epochs of globalization, we examine the relevance of leadership given the dismal record of past development …
Kenya
In December 2002, the long-ruling Kenya African National Union (KANU) lost massively to a united opposition bringing together 15 parties bound in an electoral pact. This outcome ended one of Africa's most intransigent semi-authoritarian regimes and induced great optimism in Kenya and elsewhere for fundamental reform. This paper analyzes several structural and strategic factors that combined to produce opposition unity, the lack of which was seen …
Environmental Scarcity and Conflict
The thesis that environmental scarcity leads to violent conflict in many parts of the developing world has become ascendant in the literature and has gained much publicity in policy circles in the last decade. According to students of environmental scarcity and conflict, the most conflict-prone renewable resource is fresh water. Indeed, Lake Victoria (the world's second largest fresh water lake, shared by three African countries and affecting or …

A Decade of Democracy in Africa
The democratic experiment in Africa has had a checkered history over the past ten years. Analysts of this process tend to focus on the political and legal space instead of including broader issues such as norms, generational change and class. Authors in this volume argue that African civil society is less likely to support democracy, they measure African democracy by the women's rights movements, unravel the mythical hope of technology and point …

A case against structural adjustment
Citizenship and Ethnicity
In some African countries, democratic openings have intensified ethnic competition and led to protracted transitions or outright conflict. In Kenya, I argue, the stalled transition reflects the effects ofrepublicancitizenship in ethnic political communities andliberalcitizenship in the national political community. This duality in citizenship engenders conflict over democracy-conceived as liberal majoritarian democracy-and results in ethnic coali…
Rethinking Theoretical and Methodological Approaches to the Study of African Development
conceptual frameworks that would afford a fuller insight into the dynamic processes unfolding on the continent. Others, such as Hyden (1983, 193), argue directly that Africa needs a new paradigm, or set of paradigms to explain the continent's development processes. Although there often is a call to combine or integrate various paradigms, it seldom is accompanied by specific suggestions or guidelines about how to create a new theoretical approach …
