The most significant policy framework that has been shaping the political and economic dynamics in Ethiopia is the doctrine of the developmental state model. The rhetoric is a new form of policy direction that has been advanced by the Government of Ethiopia since the aftermath of the controversial election in 2005. The policy aims at boosting legitimacy of the regime on the ability of the developmental state to deliver roads, schools and exaggerated rates of gross domestic product (GDP) growth.

影响埃塞俄比亚政治和经济动态的最重要的政策框架是发展型国家模式理论。这种言论是埃塞俄比亚政府自2005年有争议的选举之后提出的一种新的政策方向。该政策旨在提高发展国家提供道路、学校和夸大国内生产总值增长率的能力的合法性。在采用发展型国家模式后,对反对党、媒体和民间社会团体的政治镇压有所加强。本文探讨了埃塞俄比亚政府的威权发展政策对加深该国政治镇压的影响

Rethinking Nigeria''s conflicts of state building and the legal imperatives beyond chinua Achebe''s ‘there was a country: a personal history of Biafra’ 反思尼日利亚在国家建设中的冲突和超越奇努阿·阿奇贝的法律责任《有一个国家:比夫拉的个人历史》

Among the lasting consequences of colonialism is the creation of a hybrid state structure that replaces the legacies of the precolonial indigenous social authority patterns with new western paradigms. Notwithstanding the very few exceptions in Africa, postcolonial states are besieged with conflicts some of which are ethnic-related or struggles to control power and natural resources. My paper examines the Nigerian conflicts as explored in Chinua Achebe's ‘There Was a Country: A Personal History of Biafra’ (2012). The analytical work examines the uncomfortable relationship that exists between the state and the sub-nationalities and how these undermine the politics of state building and the socioeconomic development in Nigeria. It further examines the intersection between political and economic conflicts and how these impact on the construction of law and power paradigm. Although Achebe’s narrative is very in-depth in the analysis of Nigerian colonial and postcolonial problems, it does not reflect on the challenges of over-centralization and effects on state building. My work explores this gap to show how Nigeria's highly centralized state structure subverts all efforts to achieve true democracy and encourages dictatorship. I argue that the practice of true federalism or confederated state structure would restore autonomy of the states and sub-nationalities. Hence, the restoration of sub-national autonomy will create healthier cooperation among Nigeria's fragmented ethnic sub-nationalities and pave way for political stability and functional
殖民主义的持久后果之一是创造了一种混合的国家结构,用新的西方范式取代了殖民前土著社会权威模式的遗产。尽管非洲有极少数例外,但后殖民国家仍被冲突所包围,其中一些冲突与种族有关,或是控制权力和自然资源的斗争。我的论文研究了Chinua Achebe的《从前有一个国家:比亚夫拉的个人历史》(2012)中探讨的尼日利亚冲突。分析工作考察了国家和亚民族之间存在的令人不安的关系,以及这些关系如何破坏尼日利亚的国家建设政治和社会经济发展。它进一步考察了政治和经济冲突之间的交叉点,以及这些冲突如何影响法律和权力范式的构建。尽管阿切贝的叙述在分析尼日利亚殖民和后殖民问题方面非常深入,但它并没有反映出过度集中的挑战和对国家建设的影响。我的作品探讨了这一差距,以展示尼日利亚高度集中的国家结构如何颠覆实现真正民主的所有努力,并鼓励独裁。我认为,真正的联邦制或联邦制国家结构的实践将恢复各州和次民族的自治。因此,恢复次民族自治将在尼日利亚支离破碎的少数民族之间建立更健康的合作,并为政治稳定和功能铺平道路

With the exceptions of Ethiopia and Liberia, the nations of Black Africa share a common history of colonialism, despite their diversity. Colonialism lasted for about hundred years, having a great impact on African people. This article will focus specifically on Côte d'Ivoire also known as Ivory Coast, a former French colonial country in West Africa. Côte d'Ivoire has experienced a tumultuous regime history under the French colonial power. C ôte has also experienced several civil wars, and multiple regime transitions. Over fifty years after the end of French colonialism, the negative effects of French colonialism are persisting or escalating. More importantly, it will demonstrate how the presence of French colonial power in Côte d'Ivoire has left a long-lasting legacy that has severely impacted the development trajectories of contemporary Côte d'Ivoire.
除了埃塞俄比亚和利比里亚之外,黑非洲国家尽管各有不同,但都有着共同的殖民主义历史。殖民主义持续了大约一百年,对非洲人民产生了很大的影响。本文将特别关注Côte科特迪瓦,也被称为象牙海岸,一个前法国在西非的殖民地国家。Côte科特迪瓦在法国殖民统治下经历了动荡的政权历史。C ôte也经历了几次内战和多次政权更迭。在法国殖民主义结束50多年后,法国殖民主义的负面影响仍在持续或不断升级。更重要的是,它将展示法国殖民势力在Côte科特迪瓦的存在如何留下了长期的遗产,严重影响了当代Côte科特迪瓦的发展轨迹。

Urbanization and mutual help groups: contribution to nation-building in Tanzania 城市化和互助团体:对坦桑尼亚国家建设的贡献
IF 0.3 Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-03-01 DOI: 10.30884/seh/2018.01.03
Oxana V. Ivanchenko, A. Banshchikova
The article is devoted to mutual help groups in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, as an input to the country's successful nation-building process. It summarizes the results of field researches conducted by Oxana V. Ivanchenko in 2011, 2013, and 2015. The research targeted the practices of mutual help and self-organization among citizens of one of the most rapidly growing mega-cities in Africa, both its secondand third-generation old-timers and newcomers, usually the poorest Tanzanian villagers who rush to the big city in search for a better life. The methods of research include participant observation and interview, both formal and informal, with the inhabitants of uswahilini, traditional African neighborhoods, most commonly bearing the status of informal settlements. The research is focused on various forms of mutual help groups (kufa na kuzikana, mchezo/upatu, and vikoba), which nowadays tend to transform and carry out same functions of microcrediting, money-saving, loan-giving, providing the insurance in case of emergency (death, illness), and insuring socialization and strengthening of friendly relations in general. Over the course of data analysis, the authors come to a conclusion that the Tanzanians, who moved to the city, recreate the communal way of life of rural areas though in adapted forms: neighbors and colleagues become their new environment that provides social guarantees and help in difficult situation instead of relatives, and the leaders of mutual help groups help Ivanchenko and Banshchikova / Urbanization and Mutual Help Groups 35 resolve conflicts instead of the police. Strong pre-state traditions of community life and self-organization, characteristic of rural Tanzania, nowadays help urban Tanzania to grow up. And, what is even more important is that if earlier these traditions used to function only among same-tribe or same-region Tanzanians and would remain on the ethnic level, later in big cities they would flourish on inter-ethnic and supra-ethnic levels, because the need in mutual help did not disappear, while same-tribe friends and relatives were far away. Thus, it is clear that under peaceful circumstances urbanization and mutual help practices contribute to the nation-building process: people move from village to city and from traditional social bonds (on the level of tribe, region of provenance) to chosen social bonds (on nation-level, because all other ones are already overcome or non-existent).
这篇文章专门介绍坦桑尼亚达累斯萨拉姆的互助团体,作为对该国成功建国进程的投入。总结了Oxana V.Ivanchenko在2011年、2013年和2015年进行的实地研究结果。这项研究针对的是非洲发展最快的特大城市之一的公民之间的互助和自组织做法,包括其第二代和第三代老年人和新来者,通常是最贫穷的坦桑尼亚村民,他们涌向大城市寻求更好的生活。研究方法包括参与者观察和采访,包括正式和非正式的,与乌斯瓦希利尼的居民进行接触,乌斯瓦希利尼是非洲传统社区,通常具有非正式定居点的地位。研究的重点是各种形式的互助团体(kufa na kuzikana、mchezo/upatu和vikoba),这些团体如今倾向于转变和履行小额信贷、储蓄、贷款、在紧急情况下提供保险(死亡、疾病)、确保社会化和加强友好关系等相同职能。在数据分析过程中,作者得出的结论是,搬到城市的坦桑尼亚人重新创造了农村地区的公共生活方式,尽管形式有所改变:邻居和同事成为了他们的新环境,在困难的情况下提供社会保障和帮助,而不是亲人,互助小组的领导人帮助伊万琴科和班什奇科娃/城市化和互助小组35解决冲突,而不是警察。坦桑尼亚农村特有的强大的前国家社区生活和自组织传统,如今帮助坦桑尼亚城市成长。而且,更重要的是,如果早期这些传统只在同一部落或同一地区的坦桑尼亚人中发挥作用,并保持在种族层面上,那么后来在大城市,它们将在种族间和超种族层面上蓬勃发展,因为相互帮助的需求并没有消失,而同一部落的朋友和亲戚却远在他乡。因此,很明显,在和平的情况下,城市化和互助做法有助于国家建设进程:人们从一个村庄迁移到另一个城市,从传统的社会纽带(部落层面、原籍地区层面)迁移到选定的社会纽带上(国家层面,因为所有其他社会纽带都已经克服或不存在)。

The main body of this paper is made up of two separate parts each engaging and examining different aspects of industrial policy as they are related to developing African economies. The first part examines the importance of geography and contextual relevance in designing a developmental industrial policy. This part explores how different African economies may each configure their respective industrial policies in relation to their own geography and, social, cultural, and economic context so as to achieve success. The second part explores the important role the state plays in enacting and configuring an effective developmental industrial policy. This part especially highlights how the most effective industrial policy in terms of enhancing multi-sector economic growth tends to be policies enacted by developmental States that are highly involved in implementing specialized and highly integrated developmental policies that consolidate linkages across economic sectors, and is fully embedded into a broader economic development plan.
本文的主体由两个独立的部分组成,每个部分都涉及和研究与发展中非洲经济体有关的产业政策的不同方面。第一部分考察了地理和环境相关性在制定发展性产业政策中的重要性。本部分探讨了不同的非洲经济体如何根据各自的地理、社会、文化和经济背景来配置各自的产业政策,以取得成功。第二部分探讨国家在制定和配置有效的发展性产业政策方面发挥的重要作用。本部分特别强调,就促进多部门经济增长而言,最有效的产业政策往往是发展国家制定的政策,这些国家高度参与执行专门和高度一体化的发展政策,巩固各经济部门之间的联系,并充分纳入更广泛的经济发展计划。

The Nigeria-Biafra war, oil and the political economy of state induced development strategy in Eastern Nigeria, 1967-1995 尼日利亚-比夫拉战争、石油和尼日利亚东部国家政治经济发展战略,1967-1995
IF 0.3 Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-03-01 DOI: 10.30884/SEH/2018.01.05

In recent years, the low agricultural productivity, food insecurity and environmental degradation have become more apparent in many African societies. These trends have threatened the farmers' ability to increase productivity and to practice sustainable agriculture. The crisis in agricultural productivity is structural as it is demonstrated by the impact of the Nigeria-Biafra War and the emergence of the petroleum industry in the 1970s. This paper reveals that the agricultural crisis in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa has been misunderstood because the analysis often ignores how the ideology of state development interacted with local ecological conditions and peasants' actions to structure the changes in peasant economies. In the case of Eastern Nigeria, the Nigeria-Biafra War (1967–1970) and the emergence of the petroleum industry as the most important contributor to national GDP challenged the economic ideology that sought to use agriculture as a driver of economic development. African agriculture has witnessed significant decline in recent years. In the 1960s, Africa was a self-sufficient in food as well as a net food exporter. The exports averaged 1.3 million tons a year up to 1970. In recent years, however, the continent imports over 25 per cent of food stuff. It has been revealed that Nigeria is the largest importer of rice in the world (2013). Hunger and famine have become recurrent problems especially in the Horn of Africa, the Sahel, Southern Africa, and Central Africa (Bello 2008). From 1985, for example, an estimated Korieh / The Nigeria-Biafra War, Oil and the Political Economy 77 10 million Africans left their homes and fields because they were unable to support themselves. An additional 20 million were reported to be at risk of debilitating hunger (Timberlake 1985). Numerous World Bank reports since the 1980s have indicated an overall pattern of severe economic deterioration and stagnation manifested in food security problems and low levels of growth in the agricultural sub-sector (World Bank 1981, 1984, 1989). This article examines the nature of agricultural development policy and the impact of structural changes such as the Nigeria-Biafra War and the development of the petroleum industry in Eastern Nigeria in the post-independence era, from 1960 to 1995. Essentially, analyzing this period enables us to examine continuity as well as change in the agricultural economy under the indigenous political authority. I suggest that despite the modernization policies pursued by the state, structural changes resulting from the Nigeria-Biafra Civil War from 1967 to 1970, the expansion of the petroleum industry in the post-civil war period and related environmental and demographic factors were important in rural transformation and the agricultural involution in Eastern Nigeria.

近年来,农业生产力低下、粮食不安全和环境退化在许多非洲社会变得更加明显。这些趋势威胁到农民提高生产力和实施可持续农业的能力。正如尼日利亚比亚夫拉战争和20世纪70年代石油工业的兴起所表明的那样,农业生产力危机是结构性的。本文揭示了撒哈拉以南非洲许多地区的农业危机被误解,因为分析往往忽视了国家发展的意识形态如何与当地生态条件和农民构建农民经济变化的行动相互作用。就尼日利亚东部而言,尼日利亚-比亚夫拉战争(1967–1970)以及石油工业作为国家GDP最重要贡献者的出现,挑战了试图将农业作为经济发展驱动力的经济意识形态。近年来,非洲农业大幅下滑。在20世纪60年代,非洲是一个粮食自给自足的国家,也是一个粮食净出口国。到1970年为止,平均每年出口130万吨。然而,近年来,非洲大陆超过25%的粮食进口。据透露,尼日利亚是世界上最大的大米进口国(2013年)。饥饿和饥荒已成为反复出现的问题,尤其是在非洲之角、萨赫勒、南部非洲和中部非洲(Bello,2008年)。例如,从1985年起,估计有7700万非洲人因无法养活自己而离开家园和田地。据报道,另有2000万人面临使人衰弱的饥饿风险(Timberlake,1985年)。自20世纪80年代以来,世界银行的许多报告表明,经济严重恶化和停滞的总体模式表现为粮食安全问题和农业部门的低增长水平(世界银行1981年、1984年、1989年)。本文探讨了农业发展政策的性质以及结构变化的影响,如1960年至1995年尼日利亚-比夫拉战争和后独立时代尼日利亚东部石油工业的发展。从本质上讲,分析这一时期使我们能够审视土著政治权威下农业经济的连续性和变化。我认为,尽管国家推行现代化政策,但1967年至1970年尼日利亚-比亚夫拉内战、内战后石油工业的扩张以及相关的环境和人口因素导致的结构变化对尼日利亚东部的农村转型和农业内卷化至关重要。地方历史研究,包括这项研究,在纠正国家总量方面特别有用,因为正如玛丽·蒂芬所写,地方的特殊性可以“揭示失败(或成功)的模式,表明棘手的问题或需要具体努力来克服这些问题”(蒂芬1976)。国家对尼日利亚东部农业的干预可以追溯到殖民时期和鼓励出口生产。为出口市场生产棕榈油和棕榈仁为政府和农村生产商开辟了全新的前景。殖民时期出口生产的扩大是通过政治和经济控制相结合实现的。这些措施导致了新形式的生产关系、土地利用、新农业技术的适应和经济结构的调整。尼日利亚农业政策的本土化始于1954年,当时该国仍处于英国统治之下。1954年的《宪法》将经济规划的各个方面,特别是农业政策,交给了地区政府。这一时期地方政治经济的性质使得这些地区有必要在很大程度上依赖农业作为国家收入和私人收入的主要来源。对于国家和地区政府来说,农业仍然举足轻重,贡献了约60%的国民收入和70%以上人口的生计。在2018年3月的《社会进化与历史》78中,东部地区尤其认为农业是经济发展和增加人民福利的最重要途径(尼日利亚东部:1962年官方文件:3-8)。政府对农业项目的参与和资助是基于这样一种假设,即政府可以提高产量和质量。与殖民当局一样,地方当局挑战当地农民吸收农业发展的能力。 道路和卡车向偏远村庄的渗透促进了贸易的扩张社会进化与历史/2018年3月80,并鼓励了城市移民。红薯、木薯和其他农产品作为现金来源的重要性

Chima","doi":"10.30884/SEH/2018.01.05","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.30884/SEH/2018.01.05","url":null,"abstract":"In recent years, the low agricultural productivity, food insecurity and environmental degradation have become more apparent in many African societies. These trends have threatened the farmers' ability to increase productivity and to practice sustainable agriculture. The crisis in agricultural productivity is structural as it is demonstrated by the impact of the Nigeria-Biafra War and the emergence of the petroleum industry in the 1970s. This paper reveals that the agricultural crisis in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa has been misunderstood because the analysis often ignores how the ideology of state development interacted with local ecological conditions and peasants' actions to structure the changes in peasant economies. In the case of Eastern Nigeria, the Nigeria-Biafra War (1967–1970) and the emergence of the petroleum industry as the most important contributor to national GDP challenged the economic ideology that sought to use agriculture as a driver of economic development. African agriculture has witnessed significant decline in recent years. In the 1960s, Africa was a self-sufficient in food as well as a net food exporter. The exports averaged 1.3 million tons a year up to 1970. In recent years, however, the continent imports over 25 per cent of food stuff. It has been revealed that Nigeria is the largest importer of rice in the world (2013). Hunger and famine have become recurrent problems especially in the Horn of Africa, the Sahel, Southern Africa, and Central Africa (Bello 2008). From 1985, for example, an estimated Korieh / The Nigeria-Biafra War, Oil and the Political Economy 77 10 million Africans left their homes and fields because they were unable to support themselves. An additional 20 million were reported to be at risk of debilitating hunger (Timberlake 1985). Numerous World Bank reports since the 1980s have indicated an overall pattern of severe economic deterioration and stagnation manifested in food security problems and low levels of growth in the agricultural sub-sector (World Bank 1981, 1984, 1989). This article examines the nature of agricultural development policy and the impact of structural changes such as the Nigeria-Biafra War and the development of the petroleum industry in Eastern Nigeria in the post-independence era, from 1960 to 1995. Essentially, analyzing this period enables us to examine continuity as well as change in the agricultural economy under the indigenous political authority. I suggest that despite the modernization policies pursued by the state, structural changes resulting from the Nigeria-Biafra Civil War from 1967 to 1970, the expansion of the petroleum industry in the post-civil war period and related environmental and demographic factors were important in rural transformation and the agricultural involution in Eastern Nigeria.
