The purpose of this article is to review the dynamics of natural gas resources in Africa and evaluate how it can help solve the power challenges of the continent. This article develops from a descriptive analysis and desk review on natural gas and power. The key finding is that despite the increased discovery of natural gas in Africa, it has had minimal impact on power production. This study provides a descriptive overview and is limited to only natural gas. It does not consider how other energy sources can contribute to solving Africa’s power challenges. This article draws the attention of both policymakers and the investment community to the opportunities in the ‘natural gas-power’ value chain and the need to invest in gas infrastructure. An overview of the power challenges and natural gas potential of Africa is provided.
本文的目的是回顾非洲天然气资源的动态,并评估它如何帮助解决非洲大陆的电力挑战。本文是从对天然气和电力的描述性分析和案头回顾发展而来的。关键的发现是,尽管在非洲发现了越来越多的天然气,但它对电力生产的影响微乎其微。本研究提供了一个描述性的概述,仅限于天然气。它没有考虑其他能源如何有助于解决非洲的电力挑战。本文提请政策制定者和投资界注意“天然气-电力”价值链中的机会以及投资天然气基础设施的必要性。概述了非洲的电力挑战和天然气潜力。

Review of more than 100 articles accessed in literature survey for the last decade of dynamic China–Africa economic relation has been done with an objective of examining the nature and perspectives of Sino–Africa relation along Trade, FDI and Aid channels. China–Africa relation is a win–win in the short and medium run but the long-run impact is far from clear. Governance issues, environmental concern, asymmetric trade relation, prospects for African industrialisation, technology transfer and employment generation, and so on are debatable issues in most of the literatures assessed. Beneficial roles include that coordinated involvement of Chinese private sector alongside with State-owned enterprises and integrated application of trade, aid and FDI tools from Chinese side would remain to be a beneficial scheme in the African context. Researches can take up the impact of the relation on multilateral and bilateral development actors role in Africa; collaboration mechanisms among the actors; impact on sustainability of natural resource extraction; Africa’s industrialisation and technology transfer; Africa’s Global Integration and Institutional Development; Role of Private Actors; Sector specific impacts of the relationship.
回顾了过去十年中非经济关系动态的文献调查中获得的100多篇文章,目的是研究中非关系在贸易、外国直接投资和援助渠道上的性质和前景。中非关系短期和中期是互利共赢的,但长期影响尚不明朗。治理问题、环境问题、不对称贸易关系、非洲工业化的前景、技术转让和创造就业等等,在大多数被评估的文献中都是有争议的问题。有益的作用包括中国私营部门与国有企业的协调参与,以及中国方面贸易、援助和外国直接投资工具的综合应用,在非洲背景下仍将是一个有益的计划。研究可以探讨这种关系对非洲多边和双边发展行为体作用的影响;行动者之间的协作机制;对自然资源开采可持续性的影响;非洲的工业化和技术转让;非洲的全球一体化与体制发展;私营行为者的作用;这一关系对行业的具体影响。

Multiple Faces of Democrats: Satisfaction with Democracy and Support for Democracy in Malawi 民主人士的多重面孔:对马拉维民主的满意度和对民主的支持
IF 0.8 Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-12-24 DOI: 10.1177/0975087818814913
M. Chasukwa
Matters of satisfaction with and support for democracy have been at the centre of discussion regarding the survival and quality of democracy in Africa since the early 1990s. While the dominant discourse claims that support for democracy keeps on increasing with time, African countries have somewhat deviated from this path. Thus, African countries have had decreasing levels of satisfaction with democracy and support for democracy since the third democratisation wave of the early 1990s. This article takes interest in the trends of satisfaction with democracy and support for democracy with the objective of explaining factors contributing to the undermining of the survival and quality of democracy. A mixed methods research design, using Afrobarometer survey data for four rounds and secondary data, is deployed to address issues pertaining to critical and satisfied democrats as raised in the article. The article finds that satisfaction with democracy and education are significant predictors of support for democracy in Malawi. It also establishes that critical democrats fight to make democracy work, albeit for their economic survival. The article argues that the survival and quality of democracy in Malawi is compromised by elite critical citizens who show commitment to democracy as a matter of principle when they are instrumentalists.
自1990年代初以来,对民主的满意和支持问题一直是关于非洲民主的生存和质量的讨论的中心。尽管主流言论声称对民主的支持随着时间的推移而不断增加,但非洲国家在某种程度上偏离了这条道路。因此,自20世纪90年代初的第三次民主化浪潮以来,非洲国家对民主的满意度和对民主的支持程度一直在下降。本文关注对民主的满意度和对民主的支持的趋势,目的是解释破坏民主生存和质量的因素。采用混合方法研究设计,使用四轮Afrobarometer调查数据和二次数据,以解决文章中提出的与批评和满意的民主党人有关的问题。文章发现,对民主和教育的满意度是马拉维支持民主的重要预测因素。它还确立了关键的民主党人为使民主发挥作用而斗争,尽管这是为了他们的经济生存。文章认为,马拉维民主的生存和质量受到精英批判公民的损害,他们在成为工具主义者时表现出对民主的原则承诺。

Critical Reflections on State Capture in South Africa 对南非国家抓捕的批判性反思
IF 0.8 Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-12-04 DOI: 10.1177/0975087818805888

Institutionalised state corruption has morphed into a phenomenon entitled state capture in South Africa. State capture is the repurposing of the country’s institutions towards private individual interests. In the process public interest is jettisoned in favour of private material gain for select connected individuals in the private and public sector. The issue of state capture dominated public debate about the future of governance in South Africa after the former Public Protector, Thuli Madonsela’s report titled State of Capture was released in late 2016. This document highlights how the Zuma-Gupta patronage network used state companies to enrich themselves. While some believe state capture to be a fairly new phenomenon, many analyst argue that it had been part of the dealings of the ruling party for years. It could be argued that it started post-1994, after the state adopted a variety of policies to re-allocate resources across a broad sector. This included incentives for black industries and Black Economic Empowerment strategies. This radical economic empowerment meant controlling the height of the economy instead of creating black-owned small and medium-size enterprises. With that in mind, this article seeks to provide critical reflections of state capture in South Africa.
在南非,制度化的国家腐败已经演变成一种被称为“国家俘获”的现象。“国家俘获”是指将国家机构重新定位于私人个人利益。在这一过程中,公共利益被抛弃,私人和公共部门中某些有关系的个人获得了私人物质利益。2016年底,前公共保护者Thuli Madonsela发布了题为《国家被俘获》的报告后,国家俘获问题主导了公众对南非治理未来的讨论。这份文件突出了祖玛-古普塔的庇护网络如何利用国有企业中饱私囊。尽管一些人认为,政府捕获是一个相当新的现象,但许多分析人士认为,多年来,这一直是执政党交易的一部分。可以说,它始于1994年后,当时中国政府采取了一系列政策,在广泛的行业中重新分配资源。这包括鼓励黑人产业和黑人经济赋权战略。这种激进的经济赋权意味着控制经济的高度,而不是创建黑人拥有的中小型企业。考虑到这一点,本文试图提供对南非国家俘获的批判性反思。

Border Securitisation and Politics of State Policy in Nigeria, 2014–2017 尼日利亚边境证券化与国家政策政治,2014-2017
IF 0.8 Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-11-22 DOI: 10.1177/0975087818805887

This article examines the politics of public policies characterised by increased securitisation of Nigeria’s national boundary from 2014 to 2017. While the regulation appears on paper to discourage transborder crime, capital outflow and sustain a favourable balance of payment, the existing armoury of West African border literature argues otherwise. What is new in the transborder dynamics of West Africa? What informs government’s border policies in Nigeria? In answering these questions, this study provides a template for a reassessment of the gap between borderlands theory and policy in West Africa. The approach is comparative based on the critical analysis of oral interviews, government trade records, newspaper reports and the extant literature. The article provides a platform for rethinking of the nexus between governance and development in West Africa from the securitisation and neo-patrimonial perspectives. It concludes that effective border management in Nigeria is set aback by misguided and dysfunctional elitist-centred regulations that are devoid of the realities on the ground.
本文考察了2014年至2017年尼日利亚国家边界证券化程度提高的公共政策政治。虽然这项规定在纸面上似乎是为了阻止跨境犯罪、资本外流和维持有利的国际收支,但西非现有的边境文献却恰恰相反。西非的跨界动态有什么新变化?尼日利亚政府的边境政策是什么?在回答这些问题时,这项研究为重新评估西非边境地区理论和政策之间的差距提供了一个模板。该方法是基于对口头采访、政府贸易记录、报纸报道和现存文献的批判性分析的比较方法。这篇文章为从证券化和新继承制的角度重新思考西非治理与发展之间的关系提供了一个平台。它得出的结论是,尼日利亚有效的边境管理被误导和功能失调的以精英为中心的法规所震惊,这些法规缺乏当地的现实。

Economic Community of West African States’ Protocol on Free Movement and the Challenges of Human Trafficking in West Africa 西非国家经济共同体关于西非自由流动和贩运人口挑战的议定书

The article examines the Economic Community of West African States’ (ECOWAS) protocol on free movement and the challenges of human trafficking in West Africa. It investigates the implication of ECOWAS protocol on free movement on human trafficking in West Africa. The data used for the study were obtained through secondary sources. The finding shows that protocol on the free movement of a person is a precursor for increase in human trafficking in West Africa due to border porosity. Based on the findings, it was suggested that the ECOWAS intensify more efforts with its member states to solve their economic problems as the vulnerability of human trafficking is from the low-performing economies in West Africa. In addition, it was also suggested that the ECOWAS should step up effort to bring to account the perpetrators of human trafficking.
这篇文章审查了西非国家经济共同体(西非经共体)关于西非自由流动和贩运人口挑战的议定书。它调查西非经共体关于西非人口贩运自由流动的议定书的影响。用于研究的数据是通过二次来源获得的。调查结果表明,由于边境漏洞,关于人员自由流动的议定书是西非人口贩运增加的前兆。根据调查结果,有人建议西非经共体加强与成员国的合作,以解决其经济问题,因为贩运人口的脆弱性来自西非表现不佳的经济体。此外,有人还建议西非经共体加紧努力,追究人口贩运肇事者的责任。

This article provides key reasons behind Nelson Mandela’s call for a negotiated settlement of the Congolese conflict and its critics. Mandela regarded a negotiated settlement of the Congolese conflict as a viable means to pave a way for the political governance of the Congolese society conducive for the advancement of human rights, democracy and development of its people. Central to his policy approach was his call for the right of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to its national self-determination and the free, independent exercise of its sovereignty and domestic and foreign policies in the interests of its people and for this right to be respected by its neighbouring countries and other countries in Africa and globally. This was a best way of ensuring that the Congolese were to resolve their national conflict without the interference of external actors. This meant resolving conflicts among themselves and with their neighbours. Mandela’s policy approach towards the resolution of the Congolese conflict was based on the situation of the Great Lakes, the strategy and tactics of the USA and its regional allies and the strategic importance of the DRC to the continental transformation. Arguments advanced by its critics against it were ignorant of these issues, processes and developments. They did not serve the struggle for human rights, democracy, development and political governance of the Congolese society conducive for their advancement. These problems still remain in place in the DRC. South Africa’s policy approach towards the Congolese conflict prevailed over that of those who opposed it. Thabo Mbeki, upon becoming the national president, continued with this policy, pursued under the leadership of Mandela, aimed at a negotiated settlement of the DRC conflict. It led to a transitional government of national unity that was brought to an end by the results of the 2006 elections.
这篇文章提供了纳尔逊·曼德拉呼吁通过谈判解决刚果冲突及其批评者背后的关键原因。曼德拉认为,通过谈判解决刚果冲突是为刚果社会的政治治理铺平道路的一种可行手段,有助于促进刚果人民的人权、民主和发展。他的政策方针的核心是,他呼吁刚果民主共和国(DRC)享有民族自决权,为了其人民的利益自由、独立地行使主权和国内外政策,并呼吁其邻国以及非洲和全球其他国家尊重这一权利。这是确保刚果人在不受外部行为者干涉的情况下解决国家冲突的最佳方式。这意味着要解决他们之间以及与邻国之间的冲突。曼德拉解决刚果冲突的政策方针是基于大湖区局势、美国及其地区盟友的战略和战术以及刚果民主共和国对大陆转型的战略重要性。其批评者提出的反对它的论点对这些问题、进程和发展一无所知。他们没有为刚果社会争取人权、民主、发展和政治治理的斗争服务,这有利于他们的进步。这些问题在刚果民主共和国仍然存在。南非对刚果冲突的政策方针压倒了反对者。塔博·姆贝基在成为国家总统后,继续推行曼德拉领导下的这一政策,旨在通过谈判解决刚果民主共和国冲突。它导致了一个民族团结过渡政府,2006年的选举结果结束了这个政府。
