Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans les années 1960, au lendemain des indépendances, le destin des rois en Afrique semblait scellé. Qu'elles soient issues d'une longue dynastie ou qu'elles résultent d'une création coloniale, les royautés et les chefferies africaines, souvent accusées par les acteurs politiques d'avoir servi les intérêts des colonisateurs, paraissaient avoir perdu toute raison d'être dans le cadre des nouveaux États. Leur disparition n'était qu'affaire de temps. Les ouvrages de l'époque en firent l'incarnation de la " tradition " vacillant sur ses bases face à un État champion de la " modernité " triomphante. Les deux pouvoirs étaient alors présentés comme radicalement étrangers l'un à l'autre. Aujourd'hui et depuis les années 1990, de grands changements sont survenus. Non seulement les autorités traditionnelles ont presque partout survécu, mais d'anciennes monarchies ont été restaurées par des chefs d'État républicains, tandis que de plus en plus fréquemment sont intronisés des fonctionnaires, hommes d'affaire, universitaires et autres membres de cette élite lettrée qui n'éprouvait jusque là aucune attirance pour la position de chef. Les auteurs de ce livre, africains et européens, historiens pour la plupart, s'interrogent à la fois sur les raisons de cette étonnante et spectaculaire reviviscence et sur ses modalités, qui varie fortement d'un pays à l'autre. Quel statut juridique et quelles conditions financières sont faites par les gouvernants aux rois, de quelles ressources matérielles ceux-ci disposent-ils, qu'est-il advenu des assises spirituelles de leur pouvoir ? Et surtout, à qui profite cette renaissance, les rois en sont-ils les seuls bénéficiaires ? Ainsi constate-t-on qu'entre les deux pouvoirs se dessinent des rapports nouveaux, plus proches de l'interpénétration que de l'opposition. Avec, en filigrane, une interrogation : comment la royauté peut-elle être moderne, et quelle sera-t-elle au XVIIIe-XIXe siècle ?

This book was released on 2006 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A l’époque précoloniale déjà, à la tête de toutes les structures socio-politiques africaines il y avait des chefs. Sous la colonisation, grosso modo, entre 1890 et 1960, ces chefs deviennent à leur tour des sujets, sous l’autorité du pouvoir colonial qui d’ailleurs, en tout cas dans les possessions françaises, rien que pour les distinguer des administrateurs coloniaux dont ils deviennent les auxiliaires, les qualifie de traditionnels. Ils conservent ce statut d’auxiliaire tant au Burkina Faso (ancienne Haute-Volta) qu’au Niger après l’accession de ces pays à l’indépendance. Avec le retour de l’Afrique au multipartisme et à la démocratie, au début des années 1990, ces chefs traditionnels, incarnation des valeurs morales et socio-culturelles de l’Afrique ancestrale deviennent, plus que jamais des médiateurs ; des agents de développement social tout en travaillant pour la consolidation de l’Etat de droit. C’est dire que la chefferie traditionnelle a encore un bel avenir devant elle, pour peu que les leaders politiques africains consentent à collaborer, honnêtement avec elle.

This book was released on 2023-06-01 with total page 823 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern state law excludes populations, peoples, and social groups by making them invisible, irrelevant, or dangerous. In this book, Boaventura de Sousa Santos offers a radical critique of the law and develops an innovative paradigm of socio-legal studies which is based on the historical experience of the Global South. He traces the history of modern law as an abyssal law, or a kind of law that is theoretically invisible yet implements profound exclusions in practice. This abyssal line has been the key procedure used by modern modes of domination – capitalism, colonialism, and patriarchy – to divide people into two groups, the metropolitan and the colonial, or the fully human and the sub-human. Crucially, de Sousa Santos rejects the decadent pessimism that claims that we are living through 'the end of history'. Instead, this book offers practical, hopeful alternatives to social exclusion and modern legal domination, aiming to make post-abyssal legal utopias a reality.

Download or read book Modernising Traditions and Traditionalising Modernity in Africa written by B. Nyamnjoh and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2015-09-23 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chieftaincy in Africa has displayed remarkable dynamics and adaptability to new socio-economic and political developments, without becoming totally transformed in the process. Almost everywhere on the continent, chiefdoms and chiefs have become active agents in the quest for ethnic, cultural symbols as a way of maximising opportunities at the centre of bureaucratic and state power, and at the home village where control over land and labour often require both financial and symbolic capital. Chieftaincy remains central to ongoing efforts at developing democracy and accountability in line with the expectations of Africans as individual citizens and also as subjects of various cultural communities. This book uses Cameroon and Botswana as case studies, to argue that the rigidity and prescriptiveness of modernist partial theories have left a major gap in scholarship on chiefs and chieftaincy in Africa. It stresses that studies of domesticated agency in Africa are sorely needed to capture the creative ongoing processes and to avoid overemphasising structures and essentialist perceptions on chieftaincy and the cultural communities that claim and are claimed by it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative book responds to an existing demand for taking Africa out of a place of exception and marginality, and placing it at the center of international relations and world politics. Bringing together a number of scholars from various disciplinary backgrounds to stage a critical intervention into the problematic ways Africa is accounted for in the dominant discourses of international relations and global politics, it challenges the structural and epistemic biases of IR that render the contributions of the continent invisible, and situates the continent as a global region that exists beyond notions of lack, disorder, and failure. Through these interventions, the volume contributes to a rethinking of IR, and the conditions of possibility for imagining a world otherwise beyond frames that fetishize Africa paradoxically as transparent and invisible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent scholarship has increasingly shown that traditional rulers occupy a pivotal place in the dynamics of power in Africa. Drawing upon the work of Van Rouveroy van Nieuwaal, former professor of African Studies at Leiden University, this collection presents nine case studies of the dynamics of traditional leadership in modern Africa. African and European specialists deal with local situations in countries as diverse as Nigeria, Ghana, Mali, Togo, Cameroon, Zambia, Botswana, Tanzania, and South Africa. The debate on the resilience of African chieftainship adds to the significance of this volume. Wim van Binsbergen is professor of foundations of intercultural philosophy, Erasmus University, Rotterdam, and chair of the theme group on globalization, African Studies Centre, Leiden.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. Everyday resistance, peacebuilding and state-making addresses debates on the liberal peace and the policies of peacebuilding through a theoretical and empirical study of resistance in peacebuilding contexts. Examining the case of 'Africa's World War' in the DRC, it locates resistance in the experiences of war, peacebuilding and state-making by exploring discourses, violence and everyday forms of survival as quotidian acts that attempt to challenge or mitigate such experiences. The analysis of resistance offers a possibility to bring the historical and sociological aspects of both peacebuilding and the case of the DRC, providing new nuanced understanding on these processes and the particular case. The book also makes a significant contribution to the theorisation of resistance in International Relations.

Download or read book Democratic Governance written by Séverine Bellina and published by Hurst & Company. This book was released on 2009 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Governance' has become a key word in the lexicon of international relations over the last twenty years. It is used, loosely, and invariably in a liberal idiom, by scholars, activists, civil society organizations, politicians and the voluntary sector. In many respects it has attained the status of a fetish, yet 'governance' remains a notion that has multiple definitions, a concept in-the-making. Notwithstanding the imprecision with which the term is employed, it has become an inescapable paradigm for the politics of development. The contributors to this book, drawn from among some of the world's best area studies specialists, from North and South, offer a diverse global critique of 'governance' as deployed in several key areas: institutions and state actors; the rule of law, democracy and human rights; decentralization and state power; development and, last but not least, international cooperation and the role of the World Bank, the IMF and NGOs. The geographical spread of the volume ranges from Africa to Latin America, from Asia to the Middle East. Their objectives include: a reassessment of 'governance' in its many manifestations; an attempt to free the term from its often unhelpful linkage to the state, and thereby apply it to other organizations and actors; a re-evaluation of the Western-dominated use of the term politically and an attempt to broaden its application beyond issues such as transparency and the fight against corruption; and a search for innovative applications of the term, driven by a consensus that transcends current economic and political inequalities.

This book was released on 2021-02-26 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Case studies of metropolitan cities in nine African countries - from Egypt in the north to three in West and Central Africa, two in East Africa and three in Southern Africa - make up the empirical foundation of this publication. The interrelated themes addressed in these chapters - the national influence on urban development, the popular dynamics that shape urban development and the global currents on urban development - make up its framework. All authors and editors are African, as is the publisher. The only exception is Gran Therborn whose recent book, Cities of Power, served as motivation for this volume. Accordingly, the issue common to all case studies is the often conflictual powers that are exercised by national, global and popular forces in the development of these African cities. Rather than locating the case studies in an exclusively African historical context, the focus is on the trajectories of the postcolonial city (with the important exception of Addis Ababa with a non-colonial history that has granted it a special place in African consciousness). These trajectories enable comparisons with those of postcolonial cities on other continents. This, in turn, highlights the fact that Africa - today, the least urbanised continent on an increasingly urbanised globe - is in the thick of processes of large-scale urban transformation, illustrated in diverse ways by the case studies that make up the foundation of this publication.
