Information As of 1 June 2017 Has Been Used in Preparation of This Directory Information as of 1 June 2017 has been used in preparation of this directory. PREFACE The Central Intelligence Agency publishes and updates the online directory of Chiefs of State and Cabinet Members of Foreign Governments weekly. The directory is intended to be used primarily as a reference aid and includes as many governments of the world as is considered practical, some of them not officially recognized by the United States. Regimes with which the United States has no diplomatic exchanges are indicated by the initials NDE. Governments are listed in alphabetical order according to the most commonly used version of each country's name. The spelling of the personal names in this directory follows transliteration systems generally agreed upon by US Government agencies, except in the cases in which officials have stated a preference for alternate spellings of their names. NOTE: Although the head of the central bank is listed for each country, in most cases he or she is not a Cabinet member. Ambassadors to the United States and Permanent Representatives to the UN, New York, have also been included. Key To Abbreviations Adm. Admiral Admin. Administrative, Administration Asst.

  • Intra-Party Democracy in the Zambian Polity1
    John Bwalya, Owen B. Sichone: REFRACTORY FRONTIER: INTRA-PARTY … REFRACTORY FRONTIER: INTRA-PARTY DEMOCRACY IN THE ZAMBIAN POLITY1 John Bwalya Owen B. Sichone Abstract: Despite the important role that intra-party democracy plays in democratic consolidation, particularly in third-wave democracies, it has not received as much attention as inter-party democracy. Based on the Zambian polity, this article uses the concept of selectocracy to explain why, to a large extent, intra-party democracy has remained a refractory frontier. Two traits of intra-party democracy are examined: leadership transitions at party president-level and the selection of political party members for key leadership positions. The present study of four political parties: United National Independence Party (UNIP), Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD), United Party for National Development (UPND) and Patriotic Front (PF) demonstrates that the iron law of oligarchy predominates leadership transitions and selection. Within this milieu, intertwined but fluid factors, inimical to democratic consolidation but underpinning selectocracy, are explained. Keywords: Intra-party Democracy, Leadership Transition, Ethnicity, Selectocracy, Third Wave Democracies Introduction Although there is a general consensus that political parties are essential to liberal democracy (Teorell 1999; Matlosa 2007; Randall 2007; Omotola 2010; Ennser-Jedenastik and Müller 2015), they often failed to live up to the expected democratic values such as sustaining intra-party democracy (Rakner and Svasånd 2013). As a result, some scholars have noted that parties may therefore not necessarily be good for democratic consolidation because they promote private economic interests, which are inimical to democracy and state building (Aaron 1 The authors gratefully acknowledge the comments from the editorial staff and anonymous reviewers.

  • Theatre of the Absurd the Last Few Weeks Have Been Emblematic of the Farce That Passes for Economic Stewardship in Zambia
    Rhombus Advisors LLCLLCLLC Omotunde A.J. Mahoney +1-862 444 0746 March 7, 2019 ZAMBIA RESEARCH NOTE Theatre of the absurd The last few weeks have been emblematic of the farce that passes for economic stewardship in Zambia. 1) In late February, the BoZ Governor had pointedly warned that “prompt and effective implementation of fiscal adjustment measures remains critical”1. As if to underscore the growing budget squeeze, it emerged a week later that most civil servants2 were yet to receive their salaries, which are typically disbursed between the 18th and 20th of each month. 2) Yet it was also on March 1st that Zambia took delivery of a new jet for President Lungu – a Gulfstream 650 with a reported price tag of USD 70 million3. It is unclear how this extravagance is to be paid for, especially with scheduled payments on the Republic’s foreign debt amounting to more than 90% of gross international reserves4. 3) That same week we learned that there is an acute shortage of maize in Southern province5 where traders report that farmers, who have historically been suppliers of grain, have now become active buyers6. The situation is so serious that the Food Reserve Agency has been forced to start distributing product from the strategic grain reserve7. 4) Undeterred by logic, the Agriculture ministry has since chosen to lift the prohibition on exporting the cereal from which Zambia’s mealie-meal staple is derived. On the basis of past form, it can be reasonably assumed that the rationale for the new dispensation is to permit traders affiliated with the ruling party to arbitrage the commodity’s steep, cross-border price-differential8.
