Con motivo de las ediciones XIII, XIV y XV del Curso Internacional de Defensa de Jaca se publicaron los títulos “Islamismo- Fundamentalismo”, “El Mediterráneo: unión y frontera” y “Una mirada al mundo del siglo XXI”. Con la misma intención se recopila ahora en apoyo del XVI Curso Internacional de Defensa de Jaca (septiembre de 2008) esta nueva guía bibliográfica, que adopta como ya es tradición el mismo título del Curso: “África a debate”. Estas bibliografías especializadas, o guías de fuentes, tienen como objetivo principal facilitar la difusión y promover el uso de los recursos documentales e informativos de que dispone el Centro de Documentación de Defensa, organizados en diferentes bases de datos: LIDO (LIbros y DOcumentos), SEDE (SEries de DEfensa), VARE (VAciados o análisis de REvistas y libros) y CAMINA (CArtografía MIlitar y NÁutica), integradas en el Catálogo Colectivo de la Red de Bibliotecas de Defensa, así como la base de datos Temas de actualidad. Informes. Todos estos recursos están accesibles desde la intranet del Ministerio de Defensa, al igual que las bases de datos especializadas en temas de Defensa y Seguridad contratadas institucionalmente, y de las cuales se ofrece una breve reseña descriptiva. En este caso, se ha realizado una búsqueda especializada en todas las bases de datos del Centro de Documentación de Defensa, y se ha efectuado una selección muy rigurosa, dada la amplitud de los temas objeto de análisis. Como norma general se ha prescindido de los documentos publicados con anterioridad al año 2000. Las referencias se estructuran en cinco áreas temáticas siguiendo los contenidos del programa propuesto y se presentan con una ordenación alfabética de título, independiente para cada una de las tres secciones que las integran: Libros, Artículos de revistas o capítulos de libros y Documentos electrónicos. La bibliografía se completa con una selección de revistas especializadas disponibles en el Centro o de acceso abierto en Internet, con la reseña de las bases de datos de acceso en línea contratadas de mayor utilidad para los temas del curso, y con una relación de direcciones Web de interés. Al final de la publicación se facilitan datos sobre los servicios del Centro de Documentación de Defensa y sobre la tramitación de las solicitudes de reprografía o de préstamo de los recursos documentales aquí reseñados. Esta bibliografía podrá consultarse y descargarse desde la Intranet de Defensa, en la página del Centro de Documentación.

GWATIWA Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva ABSTRACT This article discusses Botswana’s development policies and its silent exclusion of minority groups, particularly the Zezuru. Focusing on the case of the Zezuru, the paper seeks to demonstrate that historical ethnic discrimination and exclusion has blinded the government’s economic diversification strategy. It draws a parallel between government policies and negligence in particular projects that fall within the scope of the diversification strategy. It discusses the government’s failure to engage the Zezuru into modernizing their informal economy. It also discusses the lack of Zezuru access to the venture capital provided by government meant to improve the formal economy. It looks into the fiscal risks and lost benefits to the government while the Zezuru informal economy remains strong. The author conclusively argues that the economic exclusion of the Zezuru in development policy implementation is a setback in the overall diversification strategy. Key Words: Botswana; Zezuru; Socioeconomic exclusion; Informal economy. INTRODUCTION Botswana is a democratic middle-income state located at the heart of the South- ern African Development Community (SADC).

  • Ethnicity in Guinea
    Guinea Ethnicity in Guinea Group selection The Malinke, Peul and Susu are politically relevant groups in Guinea. The remaining 10% of the population (besides the three big politically relevant groups) is made up of several small ethnic groups, none of which is politically organized/represented and thus politically irrelevant according to the definition of EPR. Group sizes according to figures provided by the CIA World Factbook (2245). 2245 [CIA World Factbook] Power relations 1958-1984, Sekou Toure’s rule Toure, a Malinke, who led the country to independence was known for his personal commitment to a transethnic, united Guinean na- tion (2246; 2247).

Representation of all regions and ethnic groups in the party leadership was emphasized (2249). 2249 [Schmidt, 2005] Nevertheless, the more distrustful and authoritarian Toure be- came over the years, the more he was inclined to rely on a small clique of family members and Malinke associates which in the end formed the inner power circle of the regime (2250). I thus coded the 2250 [O’Toole, 2005] Malinke as "senior partner" and the Susu and Peul as “junior part- ners”.

  • Social Cleavages and Political Parties in Botswana: an Account of A
    Social Cleavages and Political Parties in Botswana: An account of a Pre- dominant Party System By: Batlang Seabo Submitted to Central European University Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Zsolt Enyedi Budapest, Hungary CEU eTD Collection (2013) Abstract While the socio-economic history and political parties of Botswana reveal a social structure that can be analyzed in terms of cleavages, parties are cleavage related only up to a limited extent. The Botswana Democratic Party has more support in the north region than in the south while the Botswana National Front has more support in the south than in the north. The BDP is more popular among the unemployed than the employed people while the BCP is more a party of the employed than the unemployed. The BDP is supported more in the rural areas than in the urban areas while the BNF and the BCP receive more support in urban areas than their support in rural areas. The BPP is the least cleavage related party due to its small regional confinement. Support for the BDP tends to cut across the cleavages and this shows the extent to which the party is embedded in the society which results in a dominant party system. There seems to be no strong evidence in favor of ethno-linguistic cleavage and generational voting due to similar degree of support received by parties from the groups. The findings of this work raise important questions for future research on this area especially the social groups that are likely to share similar social characteristics to constitute a cleavage.

With its unabashed defence of European supremacy and its enthusiastic celebration of the military and agricultural conquest of the land, the interwar extreme- right was steeped in the tropes of settler colonial politics. Nevertheless, its embrace of both the discourse and the practices typical of political movements in settler colonial polities was hampered by the demographic and political realities of colonial rule in French Algeria.

  • Social Cleavages and Party Alignment in Botswana: Dominant Party System Debate Revisited
    A Special Issue on Botswana Notes and Records’ Golden Jubilee Volume in Honour of Sir Ketumile Masire Social Cleavages and Party Alignment in Botswana: Dominant Party System Debate Revisited Batlang Seabo∗ and Bontle Masilo§ Abstract This article analyzes the dominant party system in Botswana through a social structural paradigm. Debates surrounding the dominant party system of Botswana typically focus on the relative strength of opposition parties vis-à-vis the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), privileges of incumbency enjoyed by the BDP, the majoritarian electoral system as well as the BDP’s association with the hugely popular first President of the country, Sir Seretse Khama. Based on sociological explanations, this paper investigates whether there is social cleavage structure in Botswana’s party system and whether the same cleavages can explain the distribution of votes and voting patterns. Taking the cleavage thesis as a point of departure, the paper acknowledges the presence of social cleavages but argues that these social divisions have not been effectively mobilised by opposition parties, and through various tactics the ruling BDP has exploited and pacified them in order to mirror the society. The result has been a predominant party system that has characterised party politics for much of the post-independence era despite the declining popular vote of BDP which has been in power since Botswana attained independence in 1966. Introduction From being classified as one of the world’s poorest countries at independence in 1966, Botswana recorded the fastest economic growth rates in the world by the 1980s after the discovery of diamonds in the late 1960s.
