ANGLOPHONES OR AUTOCHTONES? —~ I0th Md Piet Konings African Studies Centre, Univ
CONSTRUCTION AND DECONSTRUCTION: ANGLOPHONES OR AUTOCHTONES? —~ I0th md Piet Konings African Studies Centre, Univ. of Leiden ias Francis B. Nyamnjoh will Department of Sociology, Univ. of Botswana me ABSTRACT l in While the politics ofbelonging has a strong tradition in the post-colonial state in JSS st Cameroon, the current wave of democratisation in the 1990s has compelled the Biya >.1 regime to re-conceptualise "belonging". Finding it hard to winfree and fair elections in ent the new multiparty system, the Biya government has tried to perpetuate itselfin power by ing encouraging the resurgence oflocal identities which wer e likely to support the regime, der notwithstanding thefact that this strategy obviously undermined its professed policy of ;he national Integration. It has also stretched the conventional idea of minorities to such bal ambiguous proportions that historica! minorities like the Anglophones have seen themselves deniedthe status ofminority in the 1996 constitution, while every small ethnic grouping which appears to distance itselffrom the Opposition has met with government support. This paper examines the systematic efforts of the government to deconstruct the Anglophone identity - an identity which has its historica! foundation in the British colonisation of the ex-Southern Cameroons and has been reactivated during the current democratisation process, posing serious problems to the Francophone-dominated state. One major government strategy has been to fuel the existing tensions between South Westerners and North Westerners in the Anglophone territory, tensions largely based in large-scale north-western settlement in the coastal plantation area and in the perceived domination of the South West by the North West economically and politically since the end of the 1950s, and to stimulate new alignments like SA WA. -

The Institutional Origins of Competitiveness and Hegemony in Post-Cold War Africa
PARTY MATTERS: THE INSTITUTIONAL ORIGINS OF COMPETITIVENESS AND HEGEMONY IN POST-COLD WAR AFRICA A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By Yonatan L. Morse, M.A. Washington, DC August 23, 2013 Copyright 2013 by Yonatan L. Morse All Rights Reserved ii PARTY MATTERS: THE INSTITUTIONAL ORIGINS OF COMPETITIVENESS AND HEGEMONY IN POST-COLD WAR AFRICA Yonatan L. Morse, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Marc M. Howard, Ph.D. ABSTRACT What explains differences in electoral authoritarian outcomes? Why are some regimes able to utterly dominate elections with comparatively lower levels of fraud and coercion, while in other cases regimes can only muster slim vote margins? What explains differences in the competitiveness and hegemony of electoral authoritarian elections? This dissertation focuses specifically on Africa’s former single-party regimes and argues that differences in party capacity developed under single-party rule is a primary factor differentiating forms of electoral authoritarianism. Through typological theorizing and case-studies of Tanzania, Kenya, and Cameroon this project shows how single-party regimes that elevated the party as an important decision-making institution, made credible investments into party institutionalization, and kept open avenues for elite recruitment were less likely to experience elite defection during multiparty elections. Likewise, single-party regimes that built strong party-affiliated mobilizing structures and engaged in wide practices of social incorporation were able to rely on persistently large electoral support. In the absence of these party capacities regimes were forced to rely more heavily on fraud and a range of contingent factors to survive. -
