Van Doorn ii EDITORIAL POLICY African Studies Abstracts Online provides an overview of articles from periodicals and edited works on Africa in the field of the social sciences and the humanities available in the African Studies Centre library. Coverage African Studies Abstracts Online covers a wide range of journals in the field of African studies. Some 240 journals are systematically scanned. Just over half of these are English-language journals, just under a quarter are French, and most of the rest are German. A few Afrikaans, Dutch, Italian and Portuguese-language journals are also covered. Some 40 percent of all the journals are published in Africa. Newspapers and weeklies, popular magazines and current affairs bulletins, statistical digests, directories, annual reports and newsletters are, with rare exceptions, not scanned. In principle all articles dealing with Africa, with the exception of North Africa (Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Western Sahara), are selected for inclusion in African Studies Abstracts Online. However, an article must be at least two to three pages long, and have been published within the past two years (though some allowance is made for journals which have fallen behind on publication schedules or which, for whatever reason, have taken a long time to arrive). In a few specific cases, an article may be excluded on the grounds of subject. In particular, articles in the field of linguistics and those in the field of literature and dealing with only one work are normally not included. This also applies to purely descriptive articles covering current political events or economic developments, which could be expected to become quickly outdated, though this rule is applied less rigorously in the case of a country about which very little is otherwise published. Review articles and book reviews are not covered. Similar criteria apply in the case of edited works. Edited works acquired by the library are abstracted and indexed on a monograph basis. Up to 50 edited works are included in each issue of African Studies Abstracts Online. Contents and arrangement In principle African Studies Abstracts Online is published four times a year. Each issue contains up to 450 titles with abstracts of collective volumes and journal articles. Items are numbered sequentially and arranged geographically according to the broad regions of Africa. There is a preliminary general section for entries whose scope extends beyond iii Africa, followed by a separate section for entries dealing with the continent as a whole. There is also a section for entries dealing with sub-Saharan Africa. Within the broad geographical regions of Northeast, West, West Central, East, Southeast Central and Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean islands, entries are arranged by country, and within each country, alphabetically according to author. Entries covering two countries appear twice, once under each country heading. Entries covering three or more countries are generally classified under the relevant regional heading. Each entry provides the conventional bibliographical information together with an abstract written in the language of the original document. The abstract covers the essentials of the publication in 10-20 lines. It includes a description of subject and purpose, disciplinary approach and nature of the research, and source materials (fieldwork, archives, oral traditions, etc.) and, where applicable, an indication of the time period, as well as specific geographical information such as the names of towns and villages or districts, and the names of persons, languages and ethnic groups. Abstracts of collective volumes detail the subject and author(s) of individual chapters insofar as possible and can often be likened to a table of contents. Indexes and list of sources Each issue of African Studies Abstracts Online contains a geographical index, a subject index, and an author index, all referring to abstract number. The geographical index is at a region and country level. It refers to both abstract and page number, and for some may serve as a surrogate table of contents. The subject index is self-devised and is intended as a first and global indication of subjects. It follows roughly the main classes of the UDC, with categories for general, religion and philosophy, culture and society, politics, economics, law, education, anthropology, medical care and health services, rural and urban planning and geography, language and literature, and history and biography. Each category is further subdivided into a number of subcategories. Abstracts of items included under more than one country heading are indexed in the geographical index under each country. In the subject and author indexes they are indexed only once; the reference is always to the first time an entry appears. In addition, each issue of African Studies Abstracts Online contains a list of periodicals abstracted which provides information on title, current place of publication and ISSN of all periodicals from which articles have been selected, as well as indicating which issues of the periodical in question have been covered. A complete list of all periodicals regularly iv scanned for abstracting is available on the African Studies Centre website at http://asc.leidenuniv.nl/library/abstracts/asaperiodicals.htm As always, comments or suggestions are very welcome. v GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number page INTERNATIONAL General 1-4 17 AFRICA General 5-53 20 NORTH AFRICA General 54-55 51 NORTHEAST AFRICA Eritrea 56-61 52 Ethiopia 62-66 55 Somalia 67 58 Sudan 68-72 58 AFRICA SOUTH OF THE SAHARA General 73-105 61 WEST AFRICA General 106-114 82 Benin 115-116 88 Burkina Faso 117-129 89 Cape Verde 130 96 Ghana 131-149 97 Guinea-Bissau 150 107 Ivory Coast 151-157 108 Liberia 158 112 Mali 159-163 112 Mauritania 164-167 115 Niger 168-171 117 Nigeria 172-187 119 Senegal 188-195 128 Sierra Leone 196 133 Togo 197 133 1 GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number page WEST CENTRAL AFRICA General 198 134 Angola 199-200 135 Cameroon 201-214 136 Chad 215 144 Congo (Brazzaville) 216-218 145 Congo (Kinshasa) 219-223 146 Gabon 224 150 EAST AFRICA General 225-228 150 Kenya 229-237 153 Rwanda 238-241 158 Tanzania 242-247 161 Uganda 248-261 164 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN AFRICA General 262-263 172 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AFRICA Malawi 264-266 173 Mozambique 267-270 174 Zambia 271-273 177 Zimbabwe 274-282 178 SOUTHERN AFRICA General 283-284 184 Botswana 285-290 185 Lesotho 291-292 189 Namibia 293-296 190 South Africa 297-365 192 Swaziland 366 228 ISLANDS 2 GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number page General 367 229 Madagascar 368-370 229 Réunion 371-372 231 3 SUBJECT INDEX A.

  • 703 Prelims.P65
    Football in France Global Sport Cultures Eds Gary Armstrong, Brunel University, Richard Giulianotti, University of Aberdeen, and David Andrews, The University of Maryland From the Olympics and the World Cup to extreme sports and kabaddi, the social significance of sport at both global and local levels has become increasingly clear in recent years. The contested nature of identity is widely addressed in the social sciences, but sport as a particularly revealing site of such contestation, in both industrialising and post-industrial nations, has been less fruitfully explored. Further, sport and sporting corporations are increasingly powerful players in the world economy. Sport is now central to the social and technological development of mass media, notably in telecommunications and digital television. It is also a crucial medium through which specific populations and political elites communicate and interact with each other on a global stage. Berg publishers are pleased to announce a new book series that will examine and evaluate the role of sport in the contemporary world. Truly global in scope, the series seeks to adopt a grounded, constructively critical stance towards prior work within sport studies and to answer such questions as: • How are sports experienced and practised at the everyday level within local settings? • How do specific cultures construct and negotiate forms of social stratification (such as gender, class, ethnicity) within sporting contexts? • What is the impact of mediation and corporate globalisation upon local sports cultures? Determinedly interdisciplinary, the series will nevertheless privilege anthropological, historical and sociological approaches, but will consider submissions from cultural studies, economics, geography, human kinetics, international relations, law, philosophy and political science.

  • Sport and Political Leaders in the Arab World », Histoire@Politique
    Mahfoud Amara, « Sport and Political Leaders in the Arab World », Histoire@Politique. Politique, culture, société, n° 23, mai-août 2014 [en ligne, www.histoire-politique.fr] Sport and Political Leaders in the Arab World Mahfoud Amara Regimes and political leaders in the Arab World have invested in sport, at different degrees, mainly for the purpose of populace mobilisation around the one party-state’s ideology and around the figure of the Zaim, the so-called father of the nation or the nation’s architect. Hundreds of photos, covers of newspapers and magazines, can be retrieved from the archives displaying current and former Arab Presidents and Kings presenting trophies to national football teams and domestic clubs, offering awards to Olympic medallists, and honorary titles to national sporting figures. Sport was incorporated, and still, in the political affairs of countries in the Arab World either to strengthen the legitimacy of ruling parties and royal families, or nowadays to delegitimise the ousted regimes following “the Arab spring”. Political leaders are also using sport as an opportunity for place branding and positioning of their country in the world’s map. This is evidenced today in the Arabian Peninsula. This article of course is not meant to be exhaustive to all Arab countries and historical epochs. The main idea is to provide an account of the general trend in relation to types of intervention of political leaders and rulers in sport in the Arab World, particularly with regards to nation-state building, diplomacy, and business of sport. Sport, the Nation’s Leader and Nation State Formation Sport practice and physical strength have been at the centre of attention of leaders and rulers in the Arab world.

  • Institutional Change in an Age of Internationalization: Globalization and the Soccer Club
    Institutional Change in an Age of Internationalization: Globalization and the Soccer Club A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science of the College of Arts and Sciences by Tiest M. Sondaal B.A., International Affairs, Xavier University M.A., Political Science, University of Cincinnati October 2011 Committee Chair: Richard J. Harknett, Ph.D ABSTRACT This dissertation contributes to the growing literature about globalization’s impact on local institutions with a focus on the interaction between global and local forces. Specifically, the dissertation examines the two theories of glocalization and grobalization that offer contrasting explanations about the impact of globalization on local institutions. While the theory of glocalization stresses the interpenetration of the global and the local resulting in increasing hybridization, grobalization predicts that globalization overwhelms local institutions resulting in increasing homogeneity. The research reveals that while both theories tested capture to some degree institutional dynamics, they ultimately overlook the enduring power of the local. Put differently, the study finds that globalization’s effects are not pre-determined and impact local institutions differently based on the local-societal setting and the local institutional capacity to withstand unifying pressures. As a corrective, my study introduces a third conceptual frame for understanding the global-local relationship that I term ‘localism anew’, which holds that local entities can be the driving force in transforming globalization by leveraging the local in order to succeed globally – something which grobalization cannot conceive and which glocalization overlooks.

  • The African Boycott of the 1966 World Cup and Its Ramifications
    1 Politics, Resistance and Patronage: The African Boycott of the 1966 World Cup and its Ramifications Dr Paul Darby School of Sport Ulster University Shore Road Newtownabbey, BT37 0ZH N. Ireland T: 02890366416 E: [email protected] 2 Politics, Resistance and Patronage: The African Boycott of the 1966 World Cup and its Ramifications Abstract The 1966 World Cup Finals are remembered primarily for on-field events, not least the host’s capture of the Jules Rimet trophy, the performances of the minnows of North Korea in reaching the quarter-finals and the Eusebio inspired exploits of the tournament’s other debutants, Portugal. What is less prominent in this history but more significant in impacting the longer-term trajectory of the World Cup and the global game, are events off the field of play, specifically the decision of African nations to boycott the qualifying rounds of the tournament. This paper assesses the circumstances behind this boycott, both within FIFA and in the highly charged political climate that characterized the immediate post-colonial era. Particular attention is paid to the role of Ghana as the boycott’s chief architect. Thereafter, I explore some of the intended and unintended consequences of the boycott, including its contribution to an ongoing transformation in the global governance of football. Key Words: Ghana; Boycott; Kwame Nkrumah; World Cup; Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF); Fédération International de Football Association (FIFA) Introduction In the context of FIFA World Cup history, 1966 is remembered primarily for events on the field of play, not least the host’s capture of the Jules Rimet trophy, the performances of the minnow’s of North Korea in reaching the quarter-finals and the Eusebio-inspired exploits of the tournament’s other debutants from Portugal.

  • The Seduction of Football Youth and Sport for Development and Peace in Post-Conflict Liberia
    The Seduction of Football Youth and Sport for Development and Peace in Post-Conflict Liberia A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Holly Lindsay Collison School of Social Sciences Brunel University October 2013 Abstract This thesis considers Liberian youth and the concept of Sport for Development and Peace (SDP). Since the early 2000s the notion of SDP has been strongly advocated, accepted and inserted into UN led policies and intervention strategies for uniting societies divided by violent conflict. Whilst little has been done to monitor and evaluate such programmes the notion has grown at an unprecedented pace and has been adopted by the development and humanitarian industry with real vigour. In many ways football has become the face of development in post-conflict societies. However, this fashionable intervention remains a development assumption rather than a tested method of programming. Liberia is a post-conflict society with a large youth population, an active large UN peacekeeping force and a long footballing heritage with a plethora of local NGO’s using SDP initiatives. My intention in this thesis is to question the assumptions of SDP advocates as they are applied in Liberia, in order to provide a better understanding of the social effects of football for Liberia’s youth population. I pursue this goal through an ethnography of one Liberian youth football team, Zatti FC, the community from which the players are drawn and the Catholic youth centre where they play. This thesis is significant as, despite its popularity, SDP has rarely been subjected to academic scrutiny, especially using the detailed qualitative methods I apply here.

  • Introduction the Language of Happiness
    Introduction The Language of Happiness In 1953, at the age of seventeen, Smaïl Zidane left his village in the French colony of Algeria, heading north. He traveled to Paris, where he found a job at a construction site in Saint-Denis, a suburb famous for an abbey church that houses the tombs of generations of French kings. Unable to find lodging, he spent the winter nights on the ground near where he worked. He remembers the day he received his first paycheck: “I experienced the first real happiness I had since arriving in France. That day, I didn’t feel the cold anymore.” He sent most of his earnings back home to his parents. Soon he met other men from his village, and together they rented a small room in Saint-Denis. They were among hundreds of thousands of colonial workers who helped rebuild France in the wake of World War II.1 A year after Smaïl left home, a bloody anticolonial uprising began in Algeria. A political organization called the Front de Libération Nationale (F.L.N.) launched a series of attacks in Algiers. In 1955 the French declared martial law, rounding up thousands of men and using torture to crush the insurrection. Many Algerian laborers in metropolitan France supported the F.L.N., which soon instituted a “revolutionary tax,” collected by its opera- tives in the shantytowns where the workers lived. In 1958 a group of well- known professional football players from Algeria sneaked out of France and gathered in Tunisia to create an F.L.N. football team.
