The chapter looks at the issue of aid dependence from donors in Sahelian countries. It argues that aid dependence is the result of a historical process whose roots are found in the colonial experience, and that has led over decades to the internationalization and co-production of public policies in the countries under study. It then shows that in reaction to the promotion of standardized policy measures, elites in the Sahel shape the political economy, strategies, and processes of appropriation in order to protect their interests. Finally, the chapter highlights four drivers through which the aid regime reproduces itself in pursuit of development and poverty reduction.
本章着眼于萨赫勒国家对捐助者的援助依赖问题。它认为,援助依赖是一个历史过程的结果,其根源可以在殖民经验中找到,并且几十年来导致了所研究国家公共政策的国际化和联合生产。然后,它表明,为了对标准化政策措施的促进作出反应,萨赫勒地区的精英们塑造了政治经济、战略和拨款过程,以保护他们的利益。最后,本章强调了援助制度在追求发展和减贫过程中自我复制的四个驱动因素。

Like elsewhere in Africa, civil society in its current forms re-emerged in the Sahelian countries with political liberalization and the transition from authoritarian rule to democratic systems. This chapter surveys the emergence and the forms of civil society, and analyzes its roles and practices in relation to the efforts to create and maintain political order. Sahelian civil societies in each country have struggled to develop, to maintain their autonomy, and to participate in the construction of new political orders, in the face of the authoritarian impulses of powerholders to domesticate and control them. Civil society is called on to play an important role in promoting, defending, and protecting the principles and values of democracy and social justice in the face of states’ efforts to establish stable political order. The chapter explores the many factors shaping its ability to do so in the Sahel.
与非洲其他地方一样,随着政治自由化和从专制统治向民主制度的过渡,萨赫勒国家重新出现了目前形式的公民社会。本章概述了公民社会的产生和形式,并分析了公民社会在创造和维持政治秩序中的作用和实践。每个国家的萨赫勒公民社会都在努力发展、维持其自治,并参与新的政治秩序的建设,面对掌权者驯化和控制它们的专制冲动。面对各国建立稳定政治秩序的努力,公民社会被要求在促进、捍卫和保护民主和社会正义的原则和价值观方面发挥重要作用。本章探讨了影响其在萨赫勒地区这样做的能力的许多因素。

Senegala
Pub Date : 2021-10-15 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780198816959.013.2
Marie Brossier
Senegal has a history of representative politics dating from the nineteenth century, and has experienced political stability since independence in 1960. Progressive political liberalization since the 1980s has occurred without coups or national conferences, making the country an outlier in the region. However, despite two peaceful transitions of power in 2000 and 2012, Senegal’s politics have also been continuously marred by autocratic behavior and periodic limitations on civil liberties. As such, Senegal remains a “patrimonial democracy.” The country’s social and generational inequalities have been exacerbated by mismanagement of resource reallocation by the state, as well as by its dependence on international aid and remittances. The worrisome socioeconomic situation has sparked migration but also bolstered the engagement of younger generations, with social movements increasingly active in the public arena and more women participating in politics. In addition, religious diversification and greater religious pluralism have increasingly challenged the historically central role of Islam, and especially the Sufi orders, in politics.
塞内加尔的代议制政治历史可以追溯到19世纪,自1960年独立以来政治稳定。自20世纪80年代以来,进步的政治自由化没有发生政变或全国会议,使该国成为该地区的局外人。然而,尽管在2000年和2012年进行了两次和平的权力过渡,塞内加尔的政治也不断受到专制行为和对公民自由的定期限制的损害。因此,塞内加尔仍然是一个“世袭民主制”。国家对资源重新分配管理不善,以及对国际援助和汇款的依赖,加剧了该国的社会和代际不平等。令人担忧的社会经济状况引发了移民,但也促进了年轻一代的参与,公共领域的社会运动日益活跃,越来越多的妇女参与政治。此外,宗教多样化和更大的宗教多元化日益挑战伊斯兰教,特别是苏菲派在政治中的历史中心作用。

Trans-Saharan Migration Through and From the Sahel 穿越萨赫勒的跨撒哈拉移民
Pub Date : 2021-10-15 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780198816959.013.43
Harouna Mounkaila
This chapter describes the dynamics of trans-Saharan migration in relation to the migratory policies implemented in the Sahel in the second decade of the twenty-first century. It argues that the circulation of migrants between the Sahara’s northern and southern edges is not a new phenomenon even though it has intensified and diversified in recent decades. It pays particular attention to the migration policies implemented in Sahelian countries under pressure from the European Union and other partners, with the goal of containing the migration of nationals as well as persons from other countries who are passing through the Sahel. The chapter discusses how the focus on securitization of borders is leading to the criminalization of migration in transit countries. It then analyzes the repercussions of these policies on the conditions for migration, the longstanding migratory patterns in this zone, and the region’s unsteady socioeconomic equilibrium.
本章描述了跨撒哈拉移徙的动态与二十一世纪第二个十年在萨赫勒地区实施的移徙政策的关系。报告认为,撒哈拉北部和南部边缘之间的移民流动并不是一个新现象,尽管近几十年来这种流动有所加剧和多样化。它特别注意在欧洲联盟和其他伙伴的压力下在萨赫勒国家执行的移徙政策,其目标是遏制国民以及来自其他国家的人通过萨赫勒的移徙。本章讨论了对边界安全的关注如何导致过境国的移民犯罪化。然后分析了这些政策对移民条件的影响,该地区长期的移民模式,以及该地区不稳定的社会经济平衡。

Islamic Intellectual Traditions in the Sahel 萨赫勒地区的伊斯兰知识传统
Pub Date : 2021-10-15 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780198816959.013.31
Rüdiger Seesemann
This chapter offers an analysis of Islamic scholarly culture and intellectual currents in the Sahel through the lens of different conceptions of Islamic knowledge. It discusses three epistemological patterns called traditionalist, reformist, and Islamist and links them to broader intellectual developments within Islam. In the traditionalist paradigm, knowledge practices are rooted in classical Islamic notions of character formation, described as a habitus that can only be attained through internalization and personal connection to a master. In the reformist paradigm, which largely corresponds to “Salafi” or “Wahhabi” epistemology, the primacy of the textual evidence supersedes the authority of the master. The Islamist paradigm pursues a new epistemological approach that seeks to fuse Islamic and “Western” knowledge. The chapter indicates how the different epistemologies intersect with broader worldviews and highlights the ways in which “Salafi” or “Wahhabi” epistemology connects to jihadist action in the Sahel in the early twenty-first century.
本章通过对伊斯兰知识的不同概念,对萨赫勒地区的伊斯兰学术文化和知识潮流进行了分析。它讨论了三种认识论模式,即传统主义、改良主义和伊斯兰主义,并将它们与伊斯兰教内部更广泛的知识发展联系起来。在传统主义范式中,知识实践根植于古典伊斯兰性格形成的概念,被描述为一种习惯,只能通过内化和与主人的个人联系来获得。在改良主义范式中,这在很大程度上与“萨拉菲”或“瓦哈比”认识论相对应,文本证据的首要地位取代了大师的权威。伊斯兰主义范式追求一种新的认识论方法,寻求融合伊斯兰和“西方”知识。本章指出了不同的认识论是如何与更广泛的世界观相交的,并强调了“萨拉菲派”或“瓦哈比派”认识论与21世纪初萨赫勒地区圣战行动的联系方式。

Militaries in Sahelian Politics 萨赫勒政治中的军队
Pub Date : 2021-10-15 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780198816959.013.27
Sebastian Elischer
The chapter analyses the trajectories of military rule across the francophone Sahel. It distinguishes between three clusters of countries. Senegal constitutes one extreme on the civil–military spectrum as it has enjoyed continuous civilian rule. Mauritania and Chad, where military rulers have remained part of the ruling elites since the 1970s, constitute the other extreme. Burkina Faso, Niger, and Mali are located somewhere in between. Although the Burkinabè armed forces for a long time acted as a pillar of autocratic rule, a large segment of the military eventually helped pave the way for democratization. In Niger and Mali military rule ended with the liberalization of Africa’s political sphere in the early 1990s. Both militaries have again intervened in politics through coups, yet each intervention has proven short-lived. There remains, however, a visible faction that wishes to return to military rule within the armed forces in every Sahelian country.
这一章分析了讲法语的萨赫勒地区军事统治的轨迹。它区分了三组国家。塞内加尔是文官-军事光谱上的一个极端,因为它一直享有文官统治。毛里塔尼亚和乍得则是另一个极端,自上世纪70年代以来,军事统治者一直是统治精英的一部分。布基纳法索、尼日尔和马里位于两者之间。虽然Burkinabè武装部队在很长一段时间里充当了专制统治的支柱,但很大一部分军队最终为民主化铺平了道路。在尼日尔和马里,军事统治随着20世纪90年代初非洲政治领域的自由化而结束。两国军队都再次通过政变干预政治,但每一次干预都被证明是短暂的。然而,在每个萨赫勒国家的武装部队中仍然有一个明显的派系希望恢复军事统治。

Drivers of Growth and Decline in Sahelian Livestock Sectors 萨赫勒地区畜牧业增长和下降的驱动因素
Pub Date : 2021-10-15 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780198816959.013.16
M. Eilittä
Sahelian livestock systems, an indelible feature of its landscapes and significant contributor to its economies, are under significant pressures to change. Whereas high predicted demand increases for livestock products offer great prospects for income growth, expansion of croplands and settlements as well as climate change will likely negatively impact Sahelian producers. It is clear that for Sahel to respond to livestock market opportunities, changes in traditional trade and production practices are needed, in particular to improve reach of market signals to producers, reduce the high transaction costs, and improve productivity. The Sahelian markets have to date shown continued capacity to supply growing Sahelian and regional markets, and in fact the changes, are already evident. These include expansion and diversification of trader networks, changing procurement patterns, agricultural expansion, and increased use of supplemental feeds, among others. These changes are certain to further evolve.
萨赫勒地区的牲畜系统是其不可磨灭的景观特征,也是其经济的重要贡献者,目前面临着巨大的变革压力。尽管预计畜产品需求的高增长为收入增长提供了巨大的前景,但农田和定居点的扩大以及气候变化可能会对萨赫勒地区的生产者产生负面影响。显然,萨赫勒地区要应对畜牧市场的机遇,就需要改变传统的贸易和生产做法,特别是要改善市场信号对生产者的影响,降低高昂的交易成本,并提高生产力。迄今为止,萨赫勒市场已显示出继续有能力供应日益增长的萨赫勒和区域市场,事实上,变化已经很明显。这些措施包括贸易商网络的扩大和多样化、采购模式的改变、农业的扩大以及增加补充饲料的使用等。这些变化肯定会进一步发展。

Burkina Faso 布吉纳法索
Pub Date : 2021-10-15 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780198816959.013.5
E. Harsch
Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta) shares many of the problems of other countries in the Sahel. Those include an arid and increasingly difficult climate, a weak economy, high levels of poverty, a youthful and rapidly growing population, ethnic and religious tensions, and a history of poor governance. While most states in the region also have experienced notable political instability, Burkina Faso has had a particular tendency toward rebellion, ranging from a military-led revolutionary experience in the 1980s to a popular insurrection that toppled a long-ruling autocrat in 2014. The latter upheaval brought a restoration of democracy, constitutional order, and the possibility of major reform. That progress, however, has been threatened by an escalation of regional and local jihadi attacks since 2015. As security has increased in priority for Burkina Faso, so has the country’s direct collaboration and engagement with its Sahelian neighbors.
布基纳法索(前身为上沃尔特)与萨赫勒地区其他国家有许多共同的问题。这些挑战包括干旱且日益艰难的气候、疲弱的经济、高水平的贫困、年轻且快速增长的人口、种族和宗教紧张局势,以及治理不善的历史。虽然该地区的大多数国家也经历了明显的政治不稳定,但布基纳法索有一种特别的叛乱倾向,从20世纪80年代军方领导的革命经历到2014年推翻长期统治的独裁者的民众起义。后一场动乱带来了民主和宪法秩序的恢复,以及重大改革的可能性。然而,自2015年以来,这一进展受到地区和地方圣战袭击升级的威胁。随着安全问题在布基纳法索日益受到重视,该国与其萨赫勒邻国的直接合作和接触也在增加。

Land Use Change and Climate-Smart Agriculture in the Sahel 萨赫勒地区的土地利用变化和气候智能型农业
Pub Date : 2021-10-15 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780198816959.013.12

In the 1970s and 1980s, the Sahel experienced recurrent drought and famine. Farmers and their development partners reacted to this crisis by developing climate-smart agricultural practices and changes in land use, including water-harvesting techniques to restore degraded land to productivity. In several densely populated parts of the Sahel, farmers began to protect and manage woody species that regenerated naturally on their farmland. Farmer-managed natural regeneration (FMNR) is a foundational practice that produces multiple benefits, such as maintaining or improving soil fertility, which raises crop yields, and increasing the production of tree-based fodder, fruit, and firewood. In Niger’s Maradi and Zinder Regions alone, farmers have applied FMNR practices on 4.2 million hectares. The findings presented in this chapter suggest that the future of agriculture in the Sahel will be largely determined by whether low-income smallholder farmers will manage to improve soil fertility, which will depend on maintaining substantial densities of on-farm trees thus increasing tree cover.
在20世纪70年代和80年代,萨赫勒地区经历了经常性的干旱和饥荒。农民及其发展伙伴通过发展气候智能型农业实践和改变土地利用方式(包括利用集水技术使退化土地恢复生产力)来应对这一危机。在萨赫勒地区几个人口密集的地区,农民开始保护和管理在农田上自然再生的木本物种。农民管理的自然再生(FMNR)是一种产生多重效益的基本做法,例如保持或改善土壤肥力,从而提高作物产量,并增加树基饲料、水果和木柴的产量。仅在尼日尔的马拉迪和津德尔地区,农民就在420万公顷土地上采用了FMNR做法。本章提出的研究结果表明,萨赫勒地区农业的未来将在很大程度上取决于低收入的小农能否设法提高土壤肥力,这将取决于保持农场树木的大量密度,从而增加树木覆盖。

The findings presented in this chapter suggest that the future of agriculture in the Sahel will be largely determined by whether low-income smallholder farmers will manage to improve soil fertility, which will depend on maintaining substantial densities of on-farm trees thus increasing tree cover.","PeriodicalId":209487,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of the African Sahel","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130425129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Systemic corruption in the Sahel is the outcome of particular historical and institutional trajectories of state-building efforts, of factionalism and patronage, and of the inability of the state apparatus to rely on alternative mechanisms to ensure its survival and legitimacy. One key feature that emerges from the analysis and comparisons of multiple case studies is the extraordinary propagation of everyday corruption, to be distinguished from “big” corruption, and the ambivalent perceptions of it by citizens when dealing with the bureaucracy. Daily corruption practices manifest themselves in a variety of forms and underpin especially the delivery of basic public services. Corruption in the Sahel is an institutionalized way of managing people and exercising power in situations of limited accountability, and is closely connected with other dynamics operating within the social and economic system.
萨赫勒地区的系统性腐败是国家建设努力的特定历史和制度轨迹的结果,是派系主义和任人唯亲的结果,也是国家机器无法依靠其他机制来确保其生存和合法性的结果。通过对多个案例研究的分析和比较,我们发现了一个关键特征,即与“大”腐败不同,日常腐败的异常传播,以及公民在与官僚机构打交道时对腐败的矛盾看法。日常腐败行为以各种形式表现出来,尤其影响基本公共服务的提供。萨赫勒地区的腐败是在责任有限的情况下管理人员和行使权力的一种制度化方式,与社会和经济系统内运作的其他动态密切相关。
