Sida Evaluation 2019:4 Commissioned by Sida, Department for Asia, Middle East and Humanitarian Assistance, Peace and Human Security Unit. Published by: Sida, 2019 Copyright: Sida and the author Date of final report: 2019-01-11 Layout by: Nordic Morning Art.no.: Sida62213en URN:NBN: urn:nbn:se:sida-62213en This publication can be downloaded/ordered from www.Sida.se/publications Forewo rd Violent conflicts lead to immense suffering, constitute major obstacles to develop- ment and prevent people from escaping poverty. While poverty is generally decreas- ing on a global level, people living in poverty are increasingly concentrated to fragile countries affected by conflict. Today, there is a broad consensus within the interna- tional community on the need to invest in peacebuilding and conflict prevention to reach the Global Goals. As a response, Sida is increasingly focusing support to coun- tries affected by conflict. Support to peacebuilding is not new. Sida has been engaged in conflict and post- conflict countries since the agency was established. Often, the devastating effects of conflict, and in its aftermath, the prospects of supporting the development towards more peaceful inclusive societies, has been the very reason for Swedish engagement. In other contexts, support to peacebuilding has been more indirect through engage- ment in sectors and areas of support far beyond projects supporting conflict resolution and dialogue.

  • “East Asian Miracle” in Africa? : a Case Study Analysis of the Rwandan Governance Reform Process Since 2000
    Chasing the “East Asian Miracle” in Africa? : A case study analysis of the Rwandan governance reform process since 2000 Francis Gaudreault A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in Public Administration Faculty of Social Sciences School of Political Studies University of Ottawa © Francis Gaudreault, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 To Amandine My better half, literally ii iii Abstract In the last few decades, many governments around the world—especially in emerging economies—have strayed from neoliberal prescriptions to get closer to a model originating from East Asia: the developmental state. These East Asian countries (Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan) instead of just regulating market mechanisms, have exercised strong control over their economies and society through highly-ambitious long-term economic and social development programs implemented in tight partnership with the private sector. Indeed, this phenomenon is worth exploring when we ask the question of how governance and political economy is evolving in the world and what are the new approaches that can inform governments. This Ph.D. thesis focuses on the evolution of strategies for social and economic development and more specifically on the emergence of developmental states in Africa. By looking at the case of Rwanda that is often considered as a success story in Africa, the aim of this thesis is to show how much this state is transforming its institutions in line with a model that resembles the developmental state, but with its specificities and perspective. Based on a large selection of primary sources gathered in Rwanda between 2015 and 2016, we argue that the system of governance of Rwanda has evolved in a different direction than the typical neo-liberal model often advocated by the West and is following a developmentalist approach much closer to some early East Asian developmental states.
