  • Submission to the University of Baltimore School of Law‟S Center on Applied Feminism for Its Fourth Annual Feminist Legal Theory Conference
    Submission to the University of Baltimore School of Law‟s Center on Applied Feminism for its Fourth Annual Feminist Legal Theory Conference. “Applying Feminism Globally.” Feminism from an African and Matriarchal Culture Perspective How Ancient Africa’s Gender Sensitive Laws and Institutions Can Inform Modern Africa and the World Fatou Kiné CAMARA, PhD Associate Professor of Law, Faculté des Sciences Juridiques et Politiques, Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar, SENEGAL “The German experience should be regarded as a lesson. Initially, after the codification of German law in 1900, academic lectures were still based on a study of private law with reference to Roman law, the Pandectists and Germanic law as the basis for comparison. Since 1918, education in law focused only on national law while the legal-historical and comparative possibilities that were available to adapt the law were largely ignored. Students were unable to critically analyse the law or to resist the German socialist-nationalism system. They had no value system against which their own legal system could be tested.” Du Plessis W. 1 Paper Abstract What explains that in patriarchal societies it is the father who passes on his name to his child while in matriarchal societies the child bears the surname of his mother? The biological reality is the same in both cases: it is the woman who bears the child and gives birth to it. Thus the answer does not lie in biological differences but in cultural ones. So far in feminist literature the analysis relies on a patriarchal background. Not many attempts have been made to consider the way gender has been used in matriarchal societies.

  • Social, Formal, and Political Determinants of Trade Under Weak Rule of Law: Experimental Evidence from Senegalese Firms
    SOCIAL,FORMAL, AND POLITICAL DETERMINANTS OF TRADE UNDER WEAK RULE OF LAW:EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE FROM SENEGALESE FIRMS∗ ABHIT BHANDARIy FEBRUARY 2021 Abstract How do firms ensure secure exchange when the rule of law is weak and contracting institutions privilege the politically connected? In developing countries, firms may use social, formal, or political heuristics when selecting business partners, but how these factors jointly impact exchange remains understudied. This article develops these the- oretical mechanisms and tests their impact with a conjoint experiment administered to 2,389 formal and informal firms in Senegal. I find evidence in support of all three theories: To varying degrees, social, state, and political factors simultaneously impact firms’ sense of deal security and likelihood of exchange. The results demonstrate the substantial influence of formal predictors of exchange even in an overwhelmingly in- formal business environment, and also establish the countervailing effects of political connections on trade. These findings suggest that firms in developing countries must contend with an intricate political calculus to ensure their growth. ∗I thank Fodé Sarr and the enumeration team for excellent research assistance.

  • Horizontal Inequalities in Africa: Measurement Issues
    Horizontal inequalities in Africa: measurement issues SK Tetteh-Baah, K Harttgen, I Günther Chair of Development Economics ETH Zurich, Switzerland Abstract This study estimates different indicators of horizontal or between-group inequality to track the progress made against inequality of opportunity across 38 African countries between 1990 and 2016. Such progress largely depends on the assumptions held in measuring horizontal inequality [HI]. Previous studies have shown with traditional methods of measurement that HI has been generally falling in Africa. The traditional use of a relative measure of inequality assumes that people are sensitive to relative, not absolute, differences when comparing distributions. The traditional use of plutocratic method of weighting also assumes that majority groups count more than, not equal to, minority groups. Using data from the Demographic and Health Survey program, the study demonstrates that the traditional approach to the measurement of HI embellishes the progress made against unequal opportunities over time, compared to what more egalitarian approaches would suggest. Much of the reduction in horizontal inequalities in educational attainment and wealth in Africa, as shown in previous studies, is being driven by overall growth in living standards, and not necessarily the narrowing of absolute gaps in sub- national regional, ethnic, gender, or religious outcomes over time. However, the study finds falling horizontal inequalities in child non-stunting and child survival, which is robust to the measure of inequality applied, indicating greater equality of opportunity for the new generation of African people. JEL codes: D63 Equity, Justice, Inequality, and Other Normative Criteria and Measurement J71 Discrimination Key words: horizontal inequality, inequality of opportunity, gender, ethnicity, sub-national region, religion, Africa, educational attainment, wealth, child non-stunting, child survival 1.

  • Prison Conditions in Cameroon: the Narratives Of
    PRISON CONDITIONS IN CAMEROON: THE NARRATIVES OF FEMALE INMATES by HELEN NAMONDO FONTEBO submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF LITERATURE AND PHILOSOPHY in the subject SOCIOLOGY at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR ME RABE JUNE 2013 SUMMARY PRISON CONDITIONS IN CAMEROON: THE NARRATIVES OF FEMALE INMATES This study explores and critically analyses the lived experiences of female inmates in six selected prisons in Cameroon. The study contributes to the available knowledge regarding prison conditions from the perspectives of female inmates– a subject which has been under researched globally and has received little attention from researchers in Cameroon. The Cameroon Penitentiary Regulation (CPR) professes to be gender neutral and, therefore, it ignores the special needs of female inmates. The central research question is: How do the national policies and laws on prison conditions in Cameroon relate to the lived and narrated experiences of female inmates? The study is informed by two major frameworks, namely, Foucault’s analytical framework from his seminal work Discipline and Punish (1977) and a feminist analytical framework, standpoint feminism, which fills the gap in Foucault’s thesis that is largely devoid of gender analysis. The study is qualitative, using in-depth interviews and observations. It involved a sample of 38 research participants, comprising 18 female inmates, 18 prison staff members and two NGO representatives. The findings reveal that both international and national ratified policies are merely “paperwork”, lacking effective implementation in the prisons selected for this study. There is a general lack of infrastructural facilities in prisons and this prevents classification as suggested by the CPR 1992 and ratified international instruments.

  • Faith-Inspired Organizations and Global Development Policy a Background Review “Mapping” Social and Economic Development Work
    BERKLEY CENTER for RELIGION, PEACE & WORLD AFFAIRS GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY 2009 | Faith-Inspired Organizations and Global Development Policy A Background Review “Mapping” Social and Economic Development Work in Europe and Africa BERKLEY CENTER REPORTS A project of the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs and the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University Supported by the Henry R. Luce Initiative on Religion and International Affairs Luce/SFS Program on Religion and International Affairs From 2006–08, the Berkley Center and the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service (SFS) col- laborated in the implementation of a generous grant from the Henry Luce Foundation’s Initiative on Religion and International Affairs. The Luce/SFS Program on Religion and International Affairs convenes symposia and seminars that bring together scholars and policy experts around emergent issues. The program is organized around two main themes: the religious sources of foreign policy in the US and around the world, and the nexus between religion and global development. Topics covered in 2007–08 included the HIV/AIDS crisis, faith-inspired organizations in the Muslim world, gender and development, religious freedom and US foreign policy, and the intersection of religion, migration, and foreign policy. The Berkley Center The Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs, created within the Office of the President in March 2006, is part of a university-wide effort to build knowledge about religion’s role in world affairs and promote interreligious understanding in the service of peace. The Center explores the inter- section of religion with contemporary global challenges.

  • The Struggle for Space: Minority Religious Identities in Post- Independent Kenya
    CODESRIA 12th General Assembly Governing the African Public Sphere 12e Assemblée générale Administrer l’espace public africain 12a Assembleia Geral Governar o Espaço Público Africano ةيعمجلا ةيمومعلا ةيناثلا رشع ﺣﻜﻢ اﻟﻔﻀﺎء اﻟﻌﺎم اﻹﻓﺮﻳﻘﻰ The Struggle for Space: Minority Religious Identities in Post- Independent Kenya Mildred A. J. Ndeda Kenyatta University 07-11/12/2008 Yaoundé, Cameroun Introduction Despite differences in religious integration there is a tendency by many countries to allow some religions to have an upper hand (Ibid). In Britain, for example, the Anglican faith is universalized at the expense of the existing religious diversity (Beckford, 1999). The marginalization of minority religious identities by the former colonial powers was duplicated in the colonies that they occupied. By so doing, the process of national homogenization necessarily eluded historical, social and cultural differences among the colonized people of Africa. The nature of the contemporary African state is largely due to the colonial era, when administrators employed religion tactically in their pursuit of religious political domination. Missionary activities were an important facet of attempted colonial cultural domination, with both repressive and liberal functions. They were agents of both European superiority and political domination and the agents of modernization especially western education. Most African countries became independent in the 1960s on a surge of optimism. The new governments set to work without an effective model other than Western one. Before long, however, the optimism of early 1960s turned sour because the African state had merely become an agency for control and extraction. There was no attempt to merge the state and society as common expressions of shared values.
