The study discusses the early stages of public engagement with immigration, and how the debate is affecting the construction of identity and ideas about national development. It proposes that the islands should be understood within a wider migratory context that includes the changing geopolitics of Europe. While also suggesting, from a strategic perspective, that immigration policies in the EU have pushed the de facto European border westwards and southwards to the West African coast between Morocco and Cape Verde, the thesis uses a postcolonial theoretical framework and proposes a specific model of inclusion and exclusion to understand the unique features of the integration of Africans in Cape Verde, with its specific racial ideology, hybridism. VI Dedication To my father—wherever he might be—for bestowing on me the sometimes bewildering, often disconcerting, but mostly wonderful gift of 'otherness,' and for injecting onto my very soul the love and—unknowingly—the critical eye for a second motherland I barely know. I'm certain he's toasting to me with a vintage manecon and dancing away to Nha Fidjo Matcho, a sedate morna by lido Lobo. Toronto, Canada, January 31st, 2010 VI "Our revised Negritude is humanistic. [l]t welcomes the complementary values of Europe and the white man, and, indeed, of all other races and continents. But it welcomes them in order to fertilize and reinvigorate its own values, which it then offers for the construction of a civilization which shall embrace all mankind. The neo-humanism of the twentieth century stands at the point where the paths of all nations, races and continents cross, 'where the four winds of the spirit blow'. " —Leopold Sedar Senghor, "What is Negritude?" (October 1961) vii Acknowledgments At the onset of this work, I owe some people a journey to its roots. Firstly, to Prof. Eduardo Raposo de Medeiros (Superior Institute of Social and Political Science—ISCSP, Lisbon) who not only instilled in me his own passion for the deeper, and profoundly humane workings of economics, but was also the first one to accept my view that Cape Verde was an economy worth watching (even if I had to "twist his arm"). Eleven years later, Dr. Rita Abrahamsen, then my advisor at the University of Wales Aberystwyth (currently at the University of Ottawa), took me under her supervision, allowing and encouraging me to explore the early ideas that would eventually lead to an abridged article masterfully edited by Jonars Spielberg (University of Michigan at East Lansing). To both of them, and to the anonymous peer reviewers, I owe a note of appreciation and many of the ideas that landed in these pages. In spite of theirs, and other valuable contributions, however, I alone bear the burden of any shortcomings this thesis may contain. My gratitude is, in the present, first and foremost due to my thesis supervisor at York, Dr. Pablo Idahosa, a fellow Aberystwyth alum who—if that was not enough coincidence—frequently surprised me with his refreshing knowledge about the obscure islands of Cape Verde, and continuously provided me with the tools and the advice to make this the best thesis it could be, certainly by often putting me back on track. My appreciation is extended to my supervisory committee members, Dr. Amin Al-Hassan, whose thoughts on hybridity shaped some of my most recent ideas, and Dr. Viviana Patroni. I also benefited from comments and sources suggested by other York University scholars, notably Dr. Alan Simmons, who consistently gave sound, yet sophisticated answers to framework puzzles, theoretical dilemmas and analytical conundrums that arose not in relation to my thesis but in relation to a joint project on migration and development in Latin America; Dr. Fahim Quadir, Dr. Maria Joao Dodman, Dr. Sharada Srinivasan, Dr. Rina Cohen, and Dr. Uwafiokun Idemudia. York International very generously funded part of my research, and Orlene Ellis, our Graduate Programme Assistant, was a bright star in several steps of the way. Among my York colleagues, I owe very special thanks to Leah Reesor for her minutious proofreading, Monica Stillo for brainstorming ideas with me before and after they hit the paper, and my very own, very fun—and very useful—discussion group, Rahma Kerim, Sara Mohammed and Nausheen Quayyum. Beyond York, Dr. Slawko Waschuk has spent innumerable days reading through my often-dry prose, and making sure I did not create (too many) new English verbs. Dr. Maria Joao Pereira (ISCSP, Lisbon) offered invaluable advise on the early conceptual stages and Dr. Ana Maria Marcelino, my sister, listened to my doubts and kept some of my ideas at bay. Dr. Jorgen Carling (International Peace Research Institute, Oslo), Dr. Godfrey Baldacchino (University of Prince Edward Island), Dr. John Connell (University of Sydney), Dr. John W. Berry (Queen's University), and Dr. Cecil Foster (University of Guelph) generously gave me access to unpublished or otherwise not easily available material. Dr. Hein de Haas (International Migration Institute, University of Oxford), and the Migration Policy Institute in Washington, DC, kindly allowed me to reprint their outstanding Trans-Saharan Migration map. Finally, my deepest appreciation goes to the many people in the islands who helped me throughout the research process: Dr. Ana Cordeiro (University of Oporto) and Dr. Lia Cordeiro Medina (University of Cape Verde); Mamadou Bhour Guewel Sene; Carmen Presa and ACCVE; Rosa DeNictolis; Carmita and Djibla Mascarenhas; Sueli Leite, Samira Pereira and the Amilcar Cabral Foundation; Orsola Bertonelli; and all my anonymous interviewees across the archipelago. A very special thanks is owed to my dearest friend Corinne Molza, who throughout the summer of 2009 heard me talk about migrants more than she would ever care to, with remarkable gracefulness and insightful interventions. She was the perfect companion for many islands-hopping travels—an incredible, unforgettable, bumpy and often emotional journey that I partly report in the pages that follow. For this I am deeply grateful to her.

  • Do Migrants Improve Governance at Home? Evidence from a Voting Experiment *
    Do Migrants Improve Governance at Home? Evidence from a Voting Experiment * Catia Batista and Pedro C. Vicente Forthcoming at World Bank Economic Review Abstract Can international migration promote better institutions at home by raising the demand for political accountability? In order to examine this question, we designed a behavioral measure of the population’s desire for better governance. A postcard was distributed to households with the pledge that, if enough postcards were mailed back, results from a survey module on perceived corruption would be made public in the national media. Using data from a tailored household survey, we examine the determinants of our behavioral measure of demand for political accountability (i.e. of undertaking the costly action of mailing the postcard), and isolate the positive effect of international emigration using locality level variation. The estimated effects are robust to the use of instrumental variables, including both past migration and macro shocks in the migrant destination countries. We find that the estimated effects can be mainly attributed to those who emigrated to countries with better governance, especially return migrants. JEL Codes: F22, O12, O15, O43, P16. Keywords: international migration, governance, political accountability, institutions, effects of emigration in origin countries, household survey, Cape Verde, sub-Saharan Africa. * Catia Batista is Assistant Professor at Trinity College Dublin and Research Affiliate at IZA; her email address is [email protected] .

  • Cape Verde: the Case for Euroization
    CAPE VERDE: THE CASE FOR EUROIZATION João Loureiro Manuel M.F. Martins Ana Paula Ribeiro [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] CEMPRE*, Faculdade de Economia, Universidade do Porto Rua Dr. Roberto Frias s/n, 4200-464 Porto, Portugal February 2009 PRELIMINARY Abstract After 10 years of a fixed exchange rate against the Euro and a deepening integration with the European Union (EU), the authorities of Cape Verde maintain a strong commitment to nominal stability and are now considering the official euroization of the country. Compared to the current pegging, euroization could be costly if the structural and/or cyclical conditions of Cape Verde were to require control over the interest rates and the exchange rate. Given the strong economic and financial integration between Cape Verde and Europe, and the fact that Cape Verde records inflation rates at levels that are similar to those of the Euro Area (EA), the relevant issue is whether the ECB monetary policy fits the needs of Cape Verde. In order to answer this question, we empirically assess the synchronization between the business cycle of Cape Verde and the business cycle of the EA. For that purpose, we compute output gaps and then use conventional correlation measures as well as other techniques recently suggested in the literature. Replicating the methodology for each of the 27 EU member-states, our results show that Cape Verde ranks better than several EU countries and even some EA countries. We thus conclude that there is a strong case for the euroization of Cape Verde.

  • Cape Verde Page 1 of 7
    Cape Verde Page 1 of 7 Cape Verde Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2003 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor February 25, 2004 Cape Verde is a multiparty parliamentary democracy in which constitutional powers were shared among the elected Head of State, President Pedro Verona Rodrigues Pires, former president of the African Party for the Independence of Cape Verde (PAICV); the head of government, Prime Minister Jose Maria Neves; and Neves' party, the PAICV. In January 2001, Pires was elected by a margin of 12 votes over the country's former prime minister and Movement for Democracy (MPD) president, Carlos Veiga, in what the National Electoral Commission and international media judged to be free and fair elections. The judiciary generally was independent. The police have primary responsibility for maintenance of law and order. Civilian authorities maintained effective control of the security forces. Some members of the security forces committed human rights abuses. The country had a market-based economy but little industry and few exploitable natural resources. In 2002, per capita income was estimated at $1,300. The country had a long history of economically driven emigration, and remittances from citizens abroad remained an important source of income. The country produced food for only 15 percent of its population of approximately 460,000, which resulted in heavy reliance on international food aid. The Government generally respected the human rights of its citizens; however, there were problems in some areas. There continued to be credible reports of police abuse. Prison conditions were poor. The judicial system was overburdened, and lengthy delays in trials were common.

  • Televisão E Democracia Em Cabo Verde: Entre a Expectativa Da Cidada- Nia E As Investidas Políticas
    Anua?rio:Layout 1 09/03/17 11:18 Page 69 Televisão e democracia em Cabo Verde: Entre a expectativa da cidada- nia e as investidas políticas Silvino Lopes Évora* Helena Sousa** Resumo Apesar do fim do monopólio da televisão estatal em Cabo Verde estar previsto desde 1992, foi apenas no final de 2006 que esta ideia política se materializou. A abertura da televisão à iniciativa privada foi sendo sistematicamente adida pelas autorida- des e foi a forte pressão da das empresas interessadas em entrar no mercado e da sociedade civil que tornou este desenvolvimento inevitável. Neste artigo, procura explicar-se um conjunto de factores que contribuiram para esta decisão política e examina-se as principais dinâmicas do sistema mediático cabo-verdiano e respecti- vas conexões com o sistema social mais amplo. Este texto aborda o aparecimento da primeira estação privada oficial que, à margem das determinações legais, recebeu uma licença provisória até à abertura do concurso no qual participou e examina as conexões que os projectos televisivos concorrentes têm com os principais partidos políticos, numa tentativa de iluminar a (re)organização das forças em presença e de reflectir sobre a fragilidade da liberdade de imprensa num país em consolidação democrática. Palavras-chave: Televisão, democracia, liberdade, política, cidadania, Cabo-Verde Apesar das extraordinárias transformações no campo da comunicação e dos media, a televisão continua a ser a principal fonte de informações e de entretenimento para milhares de milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo (Straubhaar, 2007; Tunstall, 2008, Sinclair, 1999).
