    Rebordering Africa, but not for Africans: Transfrontier Conservancy Areas, Tourism, and the Land David B. Coplan University of the Witwatersrand Abstract In countries where imperialism took the form of settler colonialism, one justification commonly advanced by the colonists for appropriating the land of indigenous people was that they were not making efficient use of it or maximizing its economic potential. Even after the first waves of massive dispossession had occurred, 'modernizing' legal measures to transform communal to individual title were often manipulated to deprive indigenous communities of most of what was left of their land. In the current century, transfrontier parks and conservation areas, heralded as vectors of economic development, employment, and cross-border reconciliation and integration, revive a 'progressive', 'eco-tourism and conservation' oriented version of the old 'efficient use' argument to appropriate land and its resources along border areas. The consequences of these internationally popular projects often create conflict, alienation, and resistance amidst and between local populations on both sides of the borders enclosed within such conservancies. The Transnational Governmentality of Landscape Planning and the “Bondage” of the Baka people in South‐East Cameroon Edith Neubauer Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology University of Vienna Abstract The Western Congo Basin Moist Forest Ecoregion constitutes a large part of the tropical wilderness of the Central African Region, the world’s second largest expanse of rainforest. As well as the globally important biodiversity of the Ecoregion faces severe threats from large‐scale commercial hunting, logging and mining, so does the indigenous population of the concerned region. While the protection of the biodiversity is of great international concern, the safeguard of indigenous rights still emerges as a stepchild in international conservation practices.

A Study of Twelve Countries The overall finding of the study is that a binary system is dominant, characterized by universities and polytechnics as distinct types of institutions. Differentiation is clearly evident in Africa, though mostly horizontal as opposed to vertical. Articulation, on the other hand, seems to be in its infancy, as some universities, in their admission requirements, do not Njuguna Ng’ethe recognize polytechnic qualifications, and mobility between George Subotzky similar institution types is rare.

Inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in December of 2000, the city should be a cultural reference point on the nation’s tourist circuit. Over fifteen years after its inscription, the greater “Saintlouisian” (from Saint-Louis) area is, however, faced with numerous difficulties and its tourism sector has been unable to lift the city out of its economic stagnation.

    ABORNE Workshop on “Bewildering Borders”: Transnational Conservation and Resource Governance in Africa To be held in conjunction with Department for Social and Cultural Anthropology, University of Vienna, Austria Friday September 27th – Saturday 28th 2013 Paper proposal Topic: Transfrontier Green governance in a context of border regime ambivalence: the Transfrontier Biosphere Reserve (TBR) of Jawling and Djoudj in the Senegal River Valley Aboubakr Tandia Gaston Berger university of Saint-Louis –Senegal Department of Political Science [email protected] Abstract The ‘cross-border cooperation/governance’ or ‘local integration’ approach to regional integration in Africa is often presented as a discourse and a practice of postcolonial counter-hegemony or decolonization of African borders and border regimes. Part of which, among other policy sectors and approaches, are the discourse and ensuing initiatives related to the promotion and ‘protection of wildlife and biodiversity as a political strategy for ‘healing the ‘scars of colonial history’ exemplified in national borders. To the extent that it is challenged by governance issues and political economic stakes inscribed in power structures and social interactions shaped by / inherited from colonial governance and / or reproduce them, green governance in border areas matches with neocolonialism rather than decolonization. In the river Valley of Senegal, this ambivalence of postcolonial or de- colonial political experiences, (i.e. Peace parks), is reflected in the way green governance
