How will HIV/AIDS transform African governance? de Waal, Alex Article The HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa has far‐reaching implications for governance and development. In addition to killing millions of individuals and causing serious economic contractions, the pandemic threatens structural transformations in African economies, institutions and governance. Decreased adult life expectancy has important adverse impacts upon savings, capital accumulation, skills acquisition, and institutional functioning. This article examines how the impacts of the pandemic can be envisaged as running processes of demographic transition, economic development and the growth of a bureaucratic state, in reverse. Meanwhile, expanded HIV/AIDS programming is likely to become a major feature of some African countries. The article examines different models for social and political mobilization against the pandemic and sketches a unified framework for understanding its impact.

The emergence of African law as an academic discipline in Britain Harrington, John A. Manji, Ambreena Article This article examines the role of British legal scholars and institutions in the development of African law in the period from the end of the Second World War to the 1960s. In particular, it considers the extent to which the new legal scholars broke with the methods and priorities of anthropologists who had studied and developed African law in the colonial period. In editing journals and law reports, as well as founding law faculties, these scholars sought to translate the interests of significant groups in the early years of independence into questions of African law. The network of African law which they established linked the diverse ‘new’ nations of Africa with each other and with the former colonial power. In the period since the late 1960s this network has disintegrated to a significant extent.

Facing Mount Kenya or Facing Mecca? The Mungiki, ethnic violence and the politics of the Moi succession in Kenya, 1987-2002 Kagwanja, Peter Mwangi Article Kenya's return to pluralist politics in the early 1990s saw the eruption of political violence that has since laid siege to human rights and democracy. This article discusses the <it>Mungiki</it> movement which, like the Mau Mau movement that waged armed struggle against the British in the 1950s, has sprouted among the Kikuyu. It examines <it>Mungiki</it> within the broader theoretical context of competitive electoral politics and political violence in contemporary Kenya. In addition to tracing the movement's religious and ideological roots, the article shows how ‘informal repression’ or quasi&dash;legitimization of sectarian violence for political ends by the state, has transformed a ‘moral ethnic’ movement into a ‘politically tribal’ one. As a contribution to the academic debate on <it>Mungiki</it>, the article draws on the rich public debate in Kenya and the author's close study of the movement in 2001–2.

Business and politics in Sao Tome e Principe: from cocoa monoculture to petro-state Frynas, Jedrzej George Wood, Geoffrey de Oliveira, Ricardo M. S. Soares Article While the islands of S<a><ac>a</ac><ac>˜</ac></a>o Tom<a><ac>e</ac><ac>´</ac></a> e Pr<a><ac>i</ac><ac>´</ac></a>ncipe (STP) were once a leading cocoa producer, cocoa production is now relatively insignificant and the country is little known today outside the lusophone world. But STP could soon gain strategic and economic importance as its territorial waters are suspected to hold large quantities of crude oil. This article explores STP's shift away from domination by cocoa exports, narrating the decline and final collapse of the plantation economy and the country's slide towards overwhelming dependence on external assistance in the form of foreign aid and external debt. In this context, it calls STP an unviable state as its fledgling domestic economy fails to generate enough revenue to sustain its highly importreliant consumption patterns. But it finds STP on the verge of another major transformation as it is likely to become a crude oil producer within a few years. In the course of this research, the authors came across major irregularities in the conduct of the country's oil policy and some of this information appears for the first time in the public domain. In this context, their research points to opportunities for rent&dash;seeking and corrupt behaviour, which stem from access to foreign aid and natural resources.

Analyzing Apartheid: how accurate were US intelligence estimates of South Africa, 1948-94? Herbst, Jeffrey Article The domestic political situation in South Africa was an issue of concern for US policymakers, and thus for the American intelligence community, from 1948 to 1994. This paper uses recently declassified intelligence assessments of South Africa to evaluate how successful American analysts were in predicting the evolution of apartheid in the uncertain mediumterm. I find that, contrary to much of the literature on US–South Africa relations specifically and American foreign policy more generally, the global superpower struggle did not prevent American intelligence officials from presenting their consumers — starting with the President — with a relatively accurate description of events in South Africa and with forecasts that were not noticeably different from other predictions, including those made by academics.

Pixley kaIsaka Seme and the African Renaissance debate Dunton, Chris Article In 1906, Pixley kaIsaka Seme, a future president of the African National Congress, delivered an oration at New York's Columbia University, entitled ‘The regeneration of Africa’. This can be seen as an important contribution to discourse on the notion of an African Renaissance, the history of which discourse extends from the mid&hyphen;nineteenth century to the present day. Analysis of the discursive strategies Seme employed in his oration reveals certain contradictions in the structure and development of his argument. These contradictions are also discernible in current contributions to the African Renaissance debate, for example in South Africa. A historical trend therefore emerges, in which central features of African Renaissance discourse — especially with regard to models for social and economic renewal — may be shown to be persistently problematic.

Chinua Achebe, the African Writers series and the establishment of African literature Currey, James Article In the list of ‘Africa's 100 Best Books’ published in 2002 over a quarter of the books had been published in the African Writers Series. Chinua Achebe is renowned for his novel <it>Things Fall Apart</it> which has sold close on 10 million copies. Much less well remembered is his creative role as the first Editorial Adviser to the Series in encouraging new writers from Africa. He firmly pressed Heinemann Educational Books to publish writing of quality without regard to problems of sex, religion or politics. Thus it was that an educational publisher established a general market in Africa for poetry, novels, plays and political memoirs. As Heinemann was based in London, it provided an international market for African writers in Europe, North America and the rest of the world.

Democratizing Security or Decentralizing Repression? The ambiguities of community policing in Kenya Ruteere, Mutuma Pommerolle, Marie-Emmanuelle Article Crime, and the means to control it, are major preoccupations for the citizens of Nairobi. Traditional policing methods have failed to curb a rising tide of criminality, with members of the police being criticized for corruption, complicity with criminals, and resort to extra&hyphen;judicial killings. With a view to improving this situation, Kenyans are experimenting with community policing strategies, pioneered in the United States, the United Kingdom and South Africa. This article provides a brief background to the emergence of community policing in these countries, dissecting the ambiguities in its conceptualization. It then introduces the context of crime and policing in Kenya, before providing a detailed examination of two community policing projects supported by different civil society organizations in Nairobi. The aim of the article is to show that ambiguity in the concept of community policing means that in practice it may operate to reinforce undemocratic and oppressive structures in Kenyan society. The authors conclude by advocating a more radical transformation of the political culture in which policing initiatives are set.

The Southern African Customs Union in transition McCarthy, Colin Article The democratization of South Africa in 1994 had important implications for the region. One of these was a desire to renegotiate the SACU Agreement, an exercise that took longer than originally anticipated but which produced an agreement that differs in fundamental respects from the agreement that has been arranging customs union management since 1969. The new chapter in the history of the world's oldest customs union will, on implementation, introduce a radically different revenue distribution formula, but most importantly, an institutional structure that provides for the democratic governance of the customs union through a number of supranational bodies that will take decisions on the basis of consensus. The big issue will remain whether the new agreement can reconcile the divergent economic development needs of South Africa, with its much larger and more industrialized economy, and those of the four smaller, less developed customs union partners.

Safiyya and Adamah: Punishing adultery with sharia stones in twenty-first-century Nigeria Kalu, Ogbu U. Article In the year 2000, a new phase of the dysfunctional power of religion exploded into the modern public space in Nigeria. Some regional states in the north of the country exploited a loophole in the 1999 constitution to declare themselves as sharia states. Debate on the constitutional legality, political, socio&dash;economic and gender implications of this development became complicated by ethnicity and regionalism. Soon, a vast array of human rights organizations around the globe joined the affray and employed the power of the media to protest the death sentence by stoning on some women accused of adultery. This paper is a historical reconstruction of the phenomenon using a case study of Safiyyatu Husseini of Sokoto State and her beautiful daughter, Adamah. While the political and socio&dash;economic perspectives are salient, the conceptual scheme privileges the religious discourse as the core of the issue from which the other connections could be unravelled. It explores the interior of the sharia laws on adultery. The international community hailed the power of the global connections and of the media when Safiyya was acquitted on appeal but many Moslems claimed that the interior of the sharia is perfumed with justice and mercy and that critics are blinded by ignorance. The case is useful for analyzing the resurgence of religion in the politics of an African country. The irony of applying a medieval law in the twenty&dash;first&dash;century is not lost.

A wondrous God: Miracles in contemporary Africa ter Haar, Gerrie Article Events or occurrences perceived as miracles are a feature of all religious traditions, although not to the same degree. The perception of a miracle is closely connected to ideas that are extant concerning the relations between the material world and the invisible world. Recent decades appear — at least from fragmentary evidence — to have seen an increase in the number of occurrences perceived as miracles in Africa, in Christian, Muslim and indigenous traditions. These can be of political as well as religious significance. This article discusses recent miracles among African Christians in particular, for two reasons: first, because their type of religiosity appears to be particularly susceptible to belief in miracles. Second, because there is more information available about Christian miracles than about other types.

A reconfiguration of political order? The state of the state in North Kivu (DR Congo) Tull, Denis M. Article This paper argues that warlord or ‘non&dash;state’ politics have not brought about as fundamental a political transformation as recent discourses about violent ‘state collapse’ in Africa seem to suggest. In the context of the territorial break&dash;up of the central state in the DR Congo, it examines the reconfiguration of political power in North Kivu in the extreme weakness of formal state structures and looks at the strategies of local actors to deal with the violent transformation of the state. It demonstrates that the strategies of the ruling rebels and other strongmen reveal significant continuities with regard to the Mobutu era as the marketing of minerals provides the resources for the revisiting of time&dash;tested political strategies such as the construction of patronage&dash;based clientelistic networks. Similarly, the limited ambitions of ‘non&dash;hegemonic rule’ provide current rulers with powerful incentives to exercise power by drawing on the support of intermediary actors such as traditional authorities. Far from indicating the ‘end of politics’, these strategies mimic President Mobutu's political set up and thus contribute to the reproduction of the postcolonial state despite its institutional erosion.

Close encounters: Chinese business networks as industrial catalysts in Sub-Saharan Africa Bräutigam, Deborah Article Chinese business networks form an important (and well&dash;studied) component of transnational industrial capitalism in East and South&dash;east Asia. Yet almost no attention has been paid to the dynamics of the growing role of Chinese networks as catalysts for industrial development in sub&dash;Saharan Africa. This article explores two contrasting cases, in Mauritius and in Nigeria. In a hostile or indifferent policy environment such as that of Nigeria, and in a locale where there were no resident overseas Chinese, the Asia&dash;Africa linkages remained limited to information, input supply, consulting services, and technical assistance. In contrast, in the encouraging policy environment of Mauritius, which also had a sizeable overseas Chinese population, transnational Asian capitalists created strong connections with local capital (Asian and other), invested in joint ventures, and formed part of a successful export&dash;oriented industrialization. These cases suggest that, as Asian business networks expand their global reach to sub&dash;Saharan Africa, they can provide an important catalyst for local industrialization.

Learning about economic development from Africa Rimmer, Douglas Article This article reviews the author's acquaintance with the literature of economic development, with particular reference to Africa, over the last 50 years. The belief that this development is propelled by the supply of capital, effectively of international aid, is criticized, and emphasis put instead on the effective demand for capital. This demand has been low in Africa; hence much capital investment has been of low or no productivity, and aid has generally failed to fulfil expectations. Aid continues nonetheless, since it serves donor as well as recipient interests and political opposition to it is weak. Free trade and free migration would be more effective means of raising African living standards but, in contrast to aid, they do encounter strong political opposition, in the one case from producer interests, in the other from nationalist ideology and racial bigotry.

African studies and the postcolonial challenge Abrahamsen, Rita Article Postcolonial theory is frequently dismissed as too theoretical and esoteric, and hence irrelevant to the study of contemporary African politics and society. This article challenges this dismissal of postcolonialism, and argues for a more constructive dialogue between African studies and postcolonial approaches. Recognizing that postcolonialism cannot be regarded as a uniform body of theory, or a school of thought in the conventional academic sense, the article focuses on certain key themes and problematizations of relevance to contemporary Africa. In particular, it elaborates on postcolonialism's conceptualization of power, and argues that the recognition of the relationship between power, discourse and political institutions and practices has much to contribute to the study of African politics. These insights are further investigated through a discussion of development, hybridity and resistance. The article concludes that both African studies and postcolonial approaches stand to benefit from a more constructive engagement.

The politics of plunder: The rhetorics of order and disorder in Southern Nigeria Gore, Charles Pratten, David Article This article looks at four cases of youth&dash;led identity&dash;based social movements in Benin City and in the Annang area of southern Nigeria. It shows how each of these movements — youth associations, ‘area boys’, vigilantes and campus cults — draws on different, older repertoires of discourse and organization, and enters into relations with state authority that combine elements of complicity, insurgency, monitoring and disengagement. It argues that their activities, mobilized around resource control and community security, can be understood as a response to the Nigerian ‘politics of plunder’, endemic since the beginning of the oil boom, but locally perceived as having intensified from the 1990s onwards.

New generation drinking: The uncertain boundaries of criminal enterprise in modern Kenya Willis, Justin Article During the 1990s, a new kind of alcoholic beverage began to appear in Kenyan bars. The ‘new generation’ drinks, as they came to be known, disturbed an established boundary between the formal and informal sectors, and between legitimate enterprise and criminal endeavour. They invaded the formal spaces of licit drinking, finding their way on to the shelves of bars between the bottles of Tusker and Bond 7; they shamelessly appropriated the physical markers of respectable business, with labelled bottles and advertising. And they were cheap, since they avoided the burden of taxation which had pushed lager beer and whisky beyond the financial reach of many drinkers. Within a year or two, these brash new imitators had captured a considerable chunk of the drinking market. In campaigning against them, the formal drinks industry — already engaged in an internecine ‘beer war’ of its own — argued that the ‘new generation’ drinks were an active and direct danger to public health. In this the industry has, more than once, received the support of vocal sections of the populace and the press, enraged by a series of tragic poisonings associated with illicit beverages. But the ‘new generation’ drinks have not disappeared, nor has their production been prevented, even though some are made on an industrial scale in premises whose locations are well known (and, indeed, are advertised). Conflicting statements emerge from different organs of the state regarding the legality, and safety, of these beverages; bans are announced, and forgotten, and announced again: and the drinks continue to be sold. This article explores the origins of the ‘new generation’ drinks, and what their continued availability tells us about the definition of crime in modern Kenya.

Not forever: Botswana, conflict diamonds and the Bushmen Taylor, Ian Mokhawa, Gladys Article It has been said that diamonds are Botswana's best friend, but with the rise of the ‘conflict diamonds’ issue in international politics, spurred on in the main by non&dash;governmental organizations, Botswana has felt compelled to go on the offensive to persuade the diamond&dash;buying public that its diamonds are ‘clean’ and legitimate. This ‘Diamonds for Development’ project has in recent months been one of the main planks of Botswana's foreign policy. However, a parallel NGO campaign around the issue of the San Bushmen has emerged that, based on perceptions linking diamonds to the removal of the San from their homes, threatens Gaborone's image as a producer of ‘clean’ diamonds. This article attempts to explain the dynamics behind these two issues currently bedevilling Botswana's relations with the outside world.

Changing population mobility in West Africa: Fulbe pastoralists in Central and South Mali de Bruijn, Mirjam van Dijk, Han Article Mobility is the most important response by the inhabitants of the Sahel to climatic adversity. This ‘condition sah<a><ac>e</ac><ac>´</ac></a>lienne’, characterized by unstable climatic circumstances, irregular rainfall patterns and periods of drought, has an important influence on people's decision&dash;making processes regarding their livelihood. Migration studies mainly focus on labour migration to urban areas. Although mobility is part of the repertoire of Sahelian people, the form it takes varies considerably between social groups and individuals, and over time. In this article we focus on a neglected and almost invisible category of rural&dash;rural migrants in the Sahel, more specifically on Fulbe pastoral people and their developments over the last three decades in the Sahel and the Sudan zone of West Africa and the economic and social conditions in which they find themselves. It concludes that these rural&dash;rural migrations are deeply engrained in cultural patterns in West Africa, exemplified by specific institutions for dealing with hosts and strangers. However, mobility is often not a planned process, and all kinds of survival strategies are used in a very flexible manner. The phenomenon has given rise to a specific character of cultural dynamics and ways of defining identity for the people involved.

'Be not afraid, only believe': Madagascar 2002 Randrianja, Solofo Article The 1990s witnessed the beginning of a tortuous process of transition in Madagascar, from a planned to a liberal economy and from an authoritarian political regime to democracy. The final act of the transition was the presidential election of 16 December 2001 which pitted Admiral Didier Ratsiraka, aged 69, in power for some 25 years, against a businessman, Marc Ravalomanana, whose only political experience was as mayor of the capital city, Antananarivo, for just two years. The first round of voting resulted in a deep disagreement. Ravalomanana, basing his argument on figures compiled by his own support committee, argued that he had won an absolute majority and that therefore he was the outright winner of the election, unless Ratsiraka would agree to a vote count in which official figures were compared with unofficial ones. Ratsiraka's refusal led to a crisis lasting for six months, which threatened to plunge the country into a civil war. Despite the hesitancy of an international community that found it difficult to choose between supporting one candidate whose argument was based on legitimacy and another who based his case on legality, the crisis ended with a victory for Ravalomanana, who was proclaimed president with majority support in the army. Legislative elections held on 15 December 2002 should give the new government a solid base.

FRENCH RULE IN TUNIS JOHNSTON, ALEX. Articles “ The Protectorate represents in practice the fatimate collaboration in all things between the French element and the local Native Government.

The fact of having (in the person of the Bey) a legal authority, competent (in the <it>eyes</it> of the natives) to govern and legislate, has placed Tunis in the same category as a British colony, so that, in fact, we have become British in spite of ourselves we have had all the advantages of Self Government”-M.
