South Africa's HIV/AIDS Policy, 1994-2004: How Can It be Explained?
Butler, Anthony
Article
This article aims to explain South Africa’s controversial post-1994 HIV/ AIDS policy. It isolates two competing sets of policy prescriptions: a ‘mobilization/biomedical’ paradigm that emphasized societal mobilization, political leadership and anti-retroviral treatments; and a ‘nationalist/ameliorative’ paradigm that focused on poverty, palliative care, traditional medicine, and appropriate nutrition. It explains the ascendancy of the ameliorative paradigm in terms of its administrative and political viability in South African conditions. It explores how public sector institutions circumscribed the viability of biomedical interventions, while political institutions and state-society relations reduced knowledge transfer and policy learning. It then investigates the intellectual context that shaped the political viability of each paradigm. Finally it argues that the ANC accommodated proponents of each policy paradigm, and that instrumental calculation of the dangers of an inequitable and unsustainable anti-retroviral programme best explains the government’s continued adherence to a cautious prevention and treatment policy.

The Common African Defence and Security Policy
Touray, Omar A.
Article
The literature on Africa’s collective security arrangements focuses on the African Union’s Peace and Security Council and the Central Organ of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) before it. This article shows that the Peace and Security Council is only an implementation mechanism of a broader policy framework, the Common African Defence and Security Policy (CADSP), that was adopted recently in Sirte, Libya. The article argues that the adoption of such a broader collective security policy framework was made possible by changes within the international system. These changes brought about a shift from realism to idealism in various regions of the world. In Africa, the idealistic undercurrent found expression in renewed interest in African institutions and African solutions to African problems. The article also demonstrates that the CADSP will confront many challenges ranging from general theoretical and normative questions that bedevil collective security arrangements elsewhere to specific issues such as funding and other practical implementation matters.

'Power To Uhuru': Youth Identity and Generational Politics in Kenya's 2002 Elections
Kagwanja, Peter Mwangi
Article
Faced with the challenge of a new, multi-ethnic political coalition, President Daniel arap Moi shifted the axis of the 2002 electoral contest from ethnicity to the politics of generational conflict. The strategy backfired, ripping his party wide open and resulting in its humiliating defeat in the December 2002 general elections. Nevertheless, the discourse of a generational change of guard as a blueprint for a more accountable system of governance won the support of some youth movements like Mungiki. This article examines how the movement’s leadership exploited the generational discourse in an effort to capture power. Examining the manipulation of generational and ethnic identities in patrimonial politics, the article argues that the instrumentalization of ethnicity in African politics has its corollary in the concomitant instrumentalization of other identities -- race, class, gender, clan, age and religion.

To Fight or to Farm? Agrarian Dimensions of the Mano River Conflicts (Liberia and Sierra Leone)
Richards, Paul
Article
The wars in Liberia and Sierra Leone have been linked to the condition of urbanized youth. Recent research in southeastern Sierra Leone and northwestern Liberia suggests the rural context is of greater significance. The fighting was mainly in rural areas, involved mainly rural youth, and adapted itself to their local concerns. A model of war as the work of urban criminal gangs, reflecting local student politics in the 1970s and embraced internationally, is ripe for replacement by a model of war as agrarian revolt. This would open up the possibility of a more coherent regional analysis of recent West African conflicts. The key to conflict resolution in the region, it is suggested, is an emphasis on agrarian justice, including reform of customary land and marriage law.

Globalization, Marginalization and Contemporary Social Movements in South Africa
Ballard, Richard
Habib, Adam
Valodia, Imraan
Zuern, Elke
Article
The objective of this article is to provide a broad framework for situating social movements in post-apartheid South Africa. The discussion begins with a brief review of approaches to the study of social movements and then turns to the challenges presented by globalization. South African democratization coincided with its increasing economic, social and political engagement with the rest of the world. One of the key effects of this has been massive job losses and resultant increases in poverty and inequality. Finally, the article reviews key features of movements in postapartheid South Africa. Overwhelmingly, these movements are driven by worsening poverty, with struggles addressing both labour issues and consumption issues. In addition, some movements confront questions of social exclusion in terms of gender, sexuality and citizenship which sit at the intersection of recognition and redistribution. Given the failure of the post-apartheid party political system to generate opposition to the left of the African National Congress (ANC), social movements provide a vital counterbalance to promote the needs of the poor in political agendas.

The Politics and Ethnography of Environmentalisms in Tanzania
Brockington, Dan
Article
This article explores the forms of environmentalism flourishing in Tanzanian villages and district and central government. It argues that their apparent unity should be explained by several factors. In central government, there is support for environmentalist policies because they generate revenue. In local government, environmentalism diverts attention away from bureaucratic failure, while simultaneously being the subject of intense politicking among the legislature. In villages, environmentalism reflects realities of environmental change, different ecologies of agricultural activity, competition and jealousy and the manipulation of official discourse. This article highlights the diversity of sources of environmentalist prominence in different sites of political activity.

Briefing: The Commission for Africa, Gleneagles, Brussels and Beyond
Jackson, Penny
Article
The Commission for Africa produced a detailed report and surprised some by covering less fashionable issues such as the role of the West in corruption and money laundering, human capacity and geopolitics. Some of this fell on deaf ears but some had a real impact on the G8. Much is still to be done on the major issue of trade: the Hong Kong WTO ministerial in December and ongoing discussions in the EU could make or break the trade reform agenda. Disagreements between donor countries on the need for and effectiveness of debt relief, for example, will not disappear; monitoring implementation of those agreements already reached will be central. This will require high-level input from multilateral institutions and civil society. If a strong and coordinated voice can be established, world leaders will be under pressure to implement their commitments as well as make new ones.

Reasons for Sub-Saharan Africa's Development Deficit that the Commission for Africa did not Consider
Mistry, Percy S.
Commentary
Despite a substantial amount of aid (much larger in per capita terms than provided to any other region), sub-Saharan African countries, with very few exceptions, have regressed since independence. The general history of Africa since achieving independence has been one of development failure. Some protagonists point to signs of change that argue for more aid. This article suggests that aid to Africa has not worked because human, social and institutional capital -- not financial capital -- poses the binding constraint. In that context, doubling aid to Africa from $23 billion in 2004 to $50 billion annually by 2015 seems a questionable proposition. This commentary suggests unconventional ways of dealing with the problems involved in importing the essential ingredients that Africa needs. It concludes with the observation that the aid community’s current obsession with poverty reduction and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) may be harming rather than helping the cause of development in Africa and argues that the focus on growth and development should be restored.

Telecentres and Transformations: Modernizing Tanzania Through the Internet
Mercer, Claire
Article
This article argues that a discourse which constructs the Internet as an inclusive development tool that can be deployed in strategies for modernizing Africa has become hegemonic among development donors and telecommunications organizations. Based on research carried out in and around three Internet cafes in Dar es Salaam, and one Multipurpose Community Telecentre (MCT) in Sengerema, this article takes issue with this discourse and suggests that the geographies of inclusion and exclusion created by the Internet are more complex. For Tanzania’s information and communication technologies (ICT) elites, the Internet will shape the population into knowledge- and market-seeking, productive citizens, stimulating national growth. For Internet cafe users and non-users, the Internet has become a marker of modernity, a way for people and places to indicate their relative level of development, and Internet use is currently dominated by leisure, communication and information relating to global popular culture. However, the article demonstrates that development interventions which turn the symptoms of poverty into technical problems to be solved with technological responses are inherently flawed, since the failure to deal with the causes of poverty means that the majority of Tanzanians continue to be excluded from the ‘information society’.

Islam in Mali in the Neoliberal Era
Soares, Benjamin F.
Article
If before 11 September 2001, many praised Mali as a model of democracy, secularism and toleration, many have now begun to express concern about the rise of Islamic fundamentalism in Mali. I consider a number of recent public debates in Mali over morality, so-called women’s issues, and the proposed changes in the Family Code and show how the perspectives of many Malians on these issues are not new but rather relate to longstanding and ongoing debates about Islam, secularism, politics, morality and law. What is new is the way in which some Muslim religious leaders have been articulating their complaints and criticisms. Since the guarantee of the freedom of expression and association in the early 1990s, there has been a proliferation of independent newspapers and private radio stations and new Islamic associations with a coterie of increasingly media-savvy activists. I explore how some Muslim activists have used such outlets to articulate the concerns of some ordinary Malians, who face the contradictions of living as modern Muslim citizens in a modernizing and secularizing state where, in this age of neoliberal governmentality, the allegedly un-Islamic seems to be always just around the corner.

State, Law, and Vigilantism in Northern Tanzania
Heald, Suzette
Article
The spontaneous development of community-based policing in central Tanzania in the early 1980s in the <I>sungusungu</I> movement and the subsequent incorporation of such groups into administrative structures over wide areas of Tanzania poses problems for how to conceive of the state in East Africa. This article deals with the circumstances which prompted the emergence of the movement and its late development among the Kuria of Mara Region in the 1990s. It argues that in ceding significant powers to local communities a ‘quiet revolution’ has taken place, reversing the centralism that was a noted aspect of the Tanzanian post-colonial state. In so doing, it has opened up a divide between the different branches of government, with the political and administrative wings supporting the groups and the institutional innovation they represent in the face of opposition by the police and judiciary. In the praxis of government in the rural areas, the anomalous legality of <I>sungusungu</I> groups is by no means to the disadvantage of the administration but raises the issue of how one can harmonize national and local systems of law and justice.

Can Policy Intervention Beat The Resource Curse? Evidence from the Chad-Cameroon Pipeline Project
Pegg, Scott
Article
Countries that are heavily dependent on natural resource exports have performed poorly on various measures of economic, social, and political development -- a phenomenon usually described as ‘the resource curse’. In spite of this, many Western policymakers believe that natural resources will ultimately provide Africa’s road to development. The World Bank argues that the resource curse is not inevitable and that good governance and sound economic policies are intervening variables that can mitigate its ill effects. This article critically evaluates the Chad-Cameroon pipeline project in order to assess whether or not policy interventions can ameliorate the resource curse. The largest single private sector investment in sub-Saharan Africa, the Chad-Cameroon pipeline project has also featured unprecedented World Bank policy interventions designed to address the complex environmental, social, and budgetary implications of large-scale oil production. The pipeline project is the World Bank’s most significant attempt yet to modify the intervening variable of government policy and transform the equation from one of resource extraction + bad governance → poverty exacerbation to one of resource extraction + good governance → poverty reduction. This article finds that these policy interventions are not working well and that the Chad-Cameroon pipeline project is unlikely to lead to poverty alleviation.

On the Limits of Liberal Peace: Chiefs and Democratic Decentralization in Post-War Sierra Leone
Fanthorpe, Richard
Article
Liberal peace, the explicit merging of international security and development policy, has arrived fairly late on the scene in Sierra Leone. One of its primary foci is regimes of customary governance and sociality associated with chiefdom administration. Many international agencies consider these regimes irredeemably oppressive towards the rural poor and a root cause of the recent civil war. While the present government of Sierra Leone remains supportive of chieftaincy, international donors are supporting a fast-track decentralization programme that, it is hoped, will supply a new system of democratic governance to a rural populace already straining against the leash of ‘custom’. This article, drawing upon the author’s recent fieldwork in Sierra Leone, undertakes a critical examination of this policy. It is argued that, popular grievances notwithstanding, chieftaincy is the historic focus of struggles for political control over the Sierra Leonean countryside. Both the national elite and the rural poor remain deeply engaged in these struggles, and many among the latter continue to value customary authority as a defence against the abuse of bureaucratic power. Fast-tracking decentralization in the war-ravaged countryside may therefore only succeed in shifting the balance of political power away from the poor.
