Democratic Transitions in East Africa
This edited volume highlights the political challenges facing Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda during a crucial period of political transition to democratic systems of government, and provides insights that are applicable to other countries engaged in this process in Africa and beyond
The Fate of Africa's Democratic Experiments
Democratisations in Africa
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…
Phases of Conflict in Africa
The contributions included in this volume revolve around the central and west African regional conflict zones, along with two essays that provide divergent perspectives on Africa's role in the "war on terrorism." They are organized chronologically by phase, thus providing insights into the complexities of conflict processes that follow similar trajectories, but that vary in time and space
Religion, identity and politics in Tanzania
In Samuel Huntington's world of hostile civilisations, Tanzania would fall into the category of a torn country, a battle ground for the forces of African, Western and Islamic meta-cultures to expand their influence. On the surface, this might seem the case. Tanzania is an impoverished country where the benefits of economic liberalisation have reached only a narrow stratum and the fruits of political liberalisation are yet to be seen, placing seve…
Culture, Transnationalism, and Civil Society
Preface Abbreviations Transnationalism, Culture and Civil Society The State and Society in Africa Transnationalism and Civil Society Culture, Identity, and Civil Society Health Care, Education, and the Asians in Tanzania The Early Years of Asian Settlement The German Colonial Period The British Colonial Period The Independence Period The Ismailis in Tanzania The Ismaili Experience: A Historical Overview Ismaili Organization: A Transnational Corpo…
Historical Dictionary of Tanzania
The United Republic of Tanzania is a rare phenomenon in Africa, the result of a merger between the former British colony of Tanganyika and the island republic of Zanzibar. While there has been and still are tensions, this has held together, perhaps because the country has been ruled by a dominant party ever since independence. It enjoyed a special aura under its first president, Julius Nyerere, who spoke glowingly of an African socialism, which d…
Power, Sovereignty, and International Election Observers
In the international election observer process, the degree to which invasive observation rules of engagement are nego-tiated depends on host country dependence on the donor community, the willingness of the donors to exploit this relationship, the power of local opposition forces to assure that the incumbent government supports an international observer presence, or the honest commitment to "free and fair" elections by the incumbent government. I…
Beyond Capitalism vs. Socialism in Kenya and Tanzania
Modern Folklore, Identity, and Political Change in Burundi
Political change in Burundi has been influenced by a number of factors that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. In this paper, the impact of folklore on national unity and division is examined in the hope of shedding light on the cultural complexities-as expressed folkloristically-that have affected the formation of rigid ethnic identities and ultimately the violent landscape of Burundi.This research builds on Liisa Malkki's work on identi…
Structural Adjustment and the Fragile Nation
Tanzaniais one of the few African countries that has remained relatively calm since independence. However, its long history of ethnic, racial, and religious cohesion has begun to fray as the Government attempts to reform its ailing economy in accordance with World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) conditionalities. This process offers an opportunity to explore the degree to which there is a causal link between liberal economic reform and…
Economic Policy under a Multiparty System in Tanzania
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 …
