Labor Unions and “Democratic Forces” in Niger
It is widely accepted that labor unions and student unions played critical roles in Niger’s transition to multiparty democracy in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Both Western and Nigerien social scientists saw them as a key element in the “democratic forces”1 that contributed to the reversal of authoritarian military and plebiscitary regimes and that eventually, after several reversals, led to Niger’s current fragile democracy (Niandou Souley 199…
Political Islam in West Africa
Long before the September 11 attacks galvanized Western attention on what has variously been called political Islam, Islamic fundamentalism, and Islamism, African nations with sizeable Muslim populations were experiencing significant transformations in the relationship between religion and state. Political Islam in West Africa explores those ongoing transformations in key countries of the Sahel region. Each country chapter provides both historica…
Niger
This article posits that a new and important transformation is occurring in Sahelian society. Westerners have tended to see the rise of "Islamism" as just another rejection of globalization and modernization.

Geographically most of Niger lies in the Saharan region, so arid that it is totally unsuitable for agriculture or even for nomadic pastoralism. W…

What Leads to Modernisation? - a comment on research trends
In a recent issue of this Journal - Vol. IX, No. 4, December 1972 - Rodolfo Salcedo explores the question of causal sequences in the modernisation process. His article illustrates three serious weaknesses in current research into this problem: (i) the inadequate conception of modernisation as a dependent variable, (ii) the choice of theoretically significant independent variables in discussing paths to modernisation, and (iii) the neglect of poli…
