OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 25/5/2018, SPi OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 25/5/2018, SPi Preface and Acknowledgements This book has been several years in the making. Ideas for the research project on which it is based slowly began cooking in 2012 as part of wider discussions within the Effective States and Inclusive Development (ESID) Research Centre, an international collaboration of research centres coordinated by the Global Development Institute at the University of Manchester. ESID’s unifying ques- tion is: ‘What kinds of politics can help to secure inclusive development, and how can these be promoted?’ Our research project asked how one might understand the interactions between political settlements, extractive industry governance, and patterns of inclusion over the long haul. We had each worked on extractive industries for a number of years, and for each of us it was more than obvious that politics is central to how the sector is governed. However, the challenge of finding a formal language for talking about this political dimension, and of doing so in a way that would allow for systematic comparison and synthesis across different country contexts, piqued our interest. And so began the initiative that has culminated in this manuscript. In keeping with the general orientation of the broader ESID programme, we worked from literature on political settlements. This generated its own challenges—sometimes it seemed to help our analyses, while at other times it felt as if the language got in the way. We debated the usefulness or not of the concept, and in the end made our own settlement with political settlements. In part, this was because of the challenge at hand. It is completely reasonable to have to talk about 125 years of a country’s political and natural resource governance history in forty pages: in political debate and general conversa- tion, citizens are frequently in the business of making such concise interpret- ations of history and then mobilizing them as part of a broader debate. Yet, the actual challenge of writing these forty-page interpretations was brutal: on the one hand, it felt we were leaving so much out, while on the other, details were always getting in the way of the flow of our arguments. After very many iterations and discussions of the four country cases that constitute the basis of this book, we cycled back to the view that the political settlements framework became the most productive and integrative way to talk about these long-term dynamics in ways that allow comparisons over time and across space. We also concluded that the language of political settlements was especially useful OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 25/5/2018, SPi Preface and Acknowledgements because it allowed us to discuss through one framework quite different forms of resource extraction: large-scale mining, large-scale hydrocarbons, artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM), and mining cooperatives. This is important because in the literature, these different forms of extraction are most often discussed separately, notwithstanding the clear political, economic, and geographical relationships that exist among them. As we have proceeded along this analytical and theoretical road trip (com- plete with flat tyres, breakdowns, and speeding tickets), we have received sterling intellectual guidance from Sam Hickey at Manchester. Sam has offered comment and criticism with great generosity, and has also been our project’s most loyal supporter and cheerleader, especially when we felt we were treading water. Also in the core ESID team, the comments and thinking of Pablo Yanguas, Kunal Sen, and Matthias vom Hau have been very helpful. This project was linked to two others—one investigating corporate social responsibility (CSR) in mining, led by Tomas Frederiksen; the other addressing the relationships between natural resource taxation and redistributive social policy, led by Paul Mosley. Tomas and Paul were part of many of our team debates and we owe them an intellectual debt of gratitude also. In Peru, Tania Ramírez and Verón- ica Hurtado made considerable and important contributions to the research and writing, Alvaro Cano’s work on the evolution of public policies towards ASM was fundamental to our understanding thereof, Alejandra Villanueva’s research provided new insights into the mining sector, and Alvaro Paredes provided research assistance. For research on Bolivia, Celina Grisi Huber played a vital role in field research, Laura Riddering and Scott Odell each supported with invaluable assistance. In Zambia, Jessica Achberger and Justine Sichone each helped greatly in the preparation of research materials. At Manchester and at our respective home institutions, many people have assisted with the management of this project. They have facilitated our meet- ings, organized workshops, handled budgets, and done all the other adminis- trative work without which research—especially international collaborative and comparative research—would not be possible. In particular, we are grate- ful to Kat Bethell, Julia Brunt, Clare Degenhardt, Pamela Dunkle, Sophie King, Susan Puryear, Julie Rafferty, Zuleyka Ramos, Ingrid Vega, and Anna Webster. We are especially grateful to Scott Odell of Clark University, who did a remarkable job editing the chapters, teasing out their messages, clarifying and correcting syntax and grammar, and preparing the manuscript for Oxford University Press (OUP). At Melbourne, Chandra Jayasuriya was an enormous help in preparing all the maps for this book. At OUP, we thank Adam Swallow for his guidance and support of the project, and Catherine Owen and Katie Bishop for guiding it through contracting and production. Many people have commented on this work as it has progressed, and their observations and criticisms have improved our arguments in many ways. viii OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 25/5/2018, SPi Preface and Acknowledgements In particular, we are grateful to Martin Abregú, Javier Arellano-Yanguas, Kojo Asante, José Alejandro Peres Cajías, Alvaro Cano, John Crabtree, Gerardo Damonte, Eduardo Dargent, Sam Hickey, David Hulme, David Kaimowitz, Terry Karl, Carlos Monge, Alvaro Paredes, Maritza Paredes, Martin Scurrah, and Alejandra Villanueva. We are also grateful for the various anonymous reviews that we received on the book proposal and the different chapters of the manuscript.

  • Economy and Globalization in Zambia
    Economy and Globalization in Zambia At the time of independence, Zambia was expected to become of the wealthiest nations in Africa. With access to raw materials such as copper and land, Zambia seemed to have all it needed to succeed in the global economy. However, it is now one of the world’s poorest nations. So how did this dramatic change take place in less than 30 years? Much of Africa has experienced economic decline in the past decades. How does Zambia’s situation compare to other countries in sub-Saharan Africa, and how is it affected by the geographic context in which it exists? Examining the economic situation and Zambia’s place in the global economy will help these questions to be understood. Lusaka, Zambia Zambia is a land-locked country located in central Africa. About the size of Texas, it is home to 11 million people. The population is made up of a variety of ethnic groups, most of whom speak Bantu. Zambia is currently one of the poorest countries in Africa, and is identified by the United Nations Development Program as a HIPC – Highly Indebted Poor Country. “Lusaka is the product of a country battling to find its way in a new world, caught between colonial beginnings, years of socialist independence and now democracy.” -Zambian National Tourist Board Lusaka became the capital of Zambia in 1930 but growth really took place in the 1960’s. The Lusaka City Council describes the city as a metropolis home to 2.5 million people. Lusaka is constantly changing. New shops are being built, and a multi-million dollar shopping mall is being constructed.

  • AFRICAN HISTORIOGRAPHY: from Colonial Historiography to UNESCO's General History of Africa
    AFRICAN HISTORIOGRAPHY: From colonial historiography to UNESCO's general history of Africa Bethwell A. Ogot Since the later 19th century, the study of African history has undergone radical changes. From about 1885 to the end of the Second World War, most of Africa was under the yoke of colonialism; and hence colonial historiography held sway. According to this imperial historiography, Africa had no history and therefore the Africans were a people without history. They propagated the image of Africa as a 'dark continent'. Any historical process or movement in the conti­ nent was explained as the work of outsiders, whether these be the mythical Hamites or the Caucasoids. Consequently, African history was for the most part seen as the history of Europeans in Africa - a part of the historical progress and development of Western Europe and an appendix of the national history of the metropolis. It was argued at the time that Africa had no history because history begins with writing and thus with the arrival of the Europeans. Their presence in Africa was therefore justified, among other things, by their ability to place Africa in the 'path of history'. Colonialism was celebrated as a 'civilising mission' carried out by European traders, missionaries and administrators.! Thus African historiography was closely linked with the colonial period and its own official historiography, with prejudices acquired and disseminated as historical knowiedge, and with eurocentric assumptions and arrogant certainty. Social Darwinism accorded Europeans an innate superiority over other peoples and justified Europe's plunder of the rest of the world. But even during the dark days of colonialism there were other historians, for example the traditional historians, African historians educated in the West and Western colonial critics sueh as Basil Davidson, who were writing different African or colonial histories.

DiJohn, 2010 24 Crisis States Research Centre State Resilience Against the Odds: An Analytical Narrative on the Construction and Maintenance of Political Order in Zambia since 1960 Jonathan Di John Crisis States Research Centre Zambia is now one of the poorest countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is a land-abundant but sparsely populated country of 11 million inhabitants. This paper attempts to explain why the Zambian state has remained resilient over the period 1960-2010 despite confronting a substantial set of crises and unfavourable ‘initial conditions’, which include: one of the worst declines in per capita income in sub-Saharan Africa since 1970, a heavy debt burden, dramatic price and production declines in its main export (copper), one of the continent’s most unequal distributions of income, one of the worst HIV/AIDS epidemics in the world, declines in its Human Development Index in every decade since 1980, relatively high levels of poverty, substantial influxes of refugees (particularly in the 1990s) that reached as high as 200,000, high transport costs as a result of being a landlocked economy, and being surrounded by five countries that have experienced civil wars and political disorder. By any conceivable measure, the growth performance of Zambia has been poor (see Table 1).

Acknowledgements A popular African proverb says that it takes a village to raise a child. I have realized over the course of the past six years that it takes a global village to research and write a dissertation. It would be impossible to name the hundreds of individuals around the world who have made this gigantic undertaking possible. Some of whom I do not even know their names, though I remember their kindness when I was far from home, jet- lagged, and frustrated with research. To all of you: Thank You, Zikomo, Xie Xie. You may not remember me, but I will always remember you. However, there are a few special people that I wish to thank in these pages. Although much of this work took place far away, I greatly appreciate the support of my colleagues in my ‘home’ of Austin, Texas.

Why do some regional elites, outside the core „fusion of elites”, willingly partake in the state while others promote separate paths for their commu- nities? This paper suggests some answers, based on a comparison between Barotse- land—where the Lozi leadership has chosen not to challenge the Zambian pro- ject—and Casamance—where local particularism has resulted in active separatist defiance towards the Senegalese state among many Diola elites. It argues that the contrast between the two regions is more apparent than real, and that elites in both cases strive for access to the local benefits of sovereign statehood.

Introduction: Zambia’s Postcolonial Historiography Walima T. Kalusa & Bizeck J. Phiri University of Zambia Zambia ’s fiftieth independence anniversary is an opportune time to take stock of advances and limitations in the country’s postcolonial historiography and, as the contributions to this special issue indicate, to point out themes which still call for scholarly attention. It is common knowledge that at independence from Britain in 1964, Zambia, like most other newly liberated African countries, inherited what some observers have aptly described as a “colonial-minded historiography” (Denoon and Kuper 1970, p. 329; Meebelo 1971). Among the chief architects of this historiography were European anthropologists and historians. European anthropologists led the way in undertaking studies that unravelled and highlighted the nature and organisation of African societies.
