  • The South African Institute of International Affairs
    THE SOUTH AFRICAN INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Brief Report 10/91 A French possession since 1896, the island of Madagascar, the fourth largest in the world, acceded to autonomous statehood within the French Community in October 1958, as the Malagasy Republic. In May 1959 Philibert Tsiranana, leader of the Parti Social Democrate (PSD), became President. The country achieved full independence in June 1960. Universally famous for its oddities in the animal and plant kingdom - notably, the mouse lemurs, the smallest of all primates, and a dozen species of vanga shrikes - Madagascar has known conflict since its independence. Conflict between the coastal people (cotiers) and the traditional ruling group of the island, the Merina, underlies the islands recent political history. ECONOMIC DECLINE After 1967 the economy, based principally on agriculture, forestry, fishing and - more recently - mining, went into deep decline. Political opposition to the Government's alleged authoritarianism and subservience to the interests of metropolitan France, also mounted. The embattled President transferred power to the military, who initiated the "Malagasization" of industry and education, and strengthened ties with the more progressive mainland African states. The crisis deepened, following an attempted military coup in December 1974, the assassination of the new Head of State and the imposition of martial law in February 1975. In June 1975, Lt-Commander Didier Ratsiraka, a cotier (a group long-favoured by the French) and a former Minister of Foreign Affairs, became the new Head of State and Chairman of the Supreme Revolutionary Council (SRC). |an Smuts House P.O. Box 31596 University of the Witwatersrand Braamfontein Braamfontein Johannesburg 2017 South Africa Tel: 339-2021 Telex: 4-27291 SA Fax: 339-2154 In a referendum in December 1975, a new constitution won overwhelming approval from the voters.

  • Madagascar Location Geography
    Madagascar Location Madagascar lies off the east coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. The Mozambique channel divides the island with the African continent. It is the largest of the Indian Ocean’s many islands, and is the fourth largest island in the world, following Greenland, New Guinea, and Borneo. The land aeria isw about the size of the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa combined and covers 226,658 square miles. The island is 976 miles long and 335 miles across at it’s widest point, and is shaped like an irregular oval. It has some smaller islands surrounding it, including Nosy Be, eight miles off of the coast in the Bay of Ampasindava in the northwest. Saint-Marie off the east coast and Nosy Be off the west coast are islands large enough to support inhabitants. There are also several tiny uninhabited islands in the Mozambique Channel: Nosy Mitsio, the Radama Islands, Chesterfield Island, and the Barren Islands. Geography This unique country is divided into three regions that run north and south along the length of the island. On the eastern side, along the Indian Ocean, there is a narrow piece of tropical lowlands, consisting mostly of flat plains. It is about 30 miles wide and includes marshes, but is very fertile. The eastern coast is unique in that for almost 1000 miles, it runs in a straight almost uninterrupted line from southwest to northeast. It has many white sand beaches with coral reefs, and the ocean is the roughest on this side of the island, facing out to the Indian Ocean.

  • Madagascar's Political Crisis
    Madagascar’s political crisis Standard Note: SN05962 Last updated: 1 May 2012 Author: Jon Lunn Section International Affairs and Defence Section In March 2009, backed by large parts of the military and in the context of street protests in the capital, Antananarivo, current interim President Andre Rajoelina seized power from the incumbent, Marc Ravalomanana, who fled into exile in South Africa. The international community viewed it as an illegal coup d’état and took steps to isolate Rajeolina and his government. Since September 2011, a regionally-brokered agreement, signed by all the contending Malagasy parties, has been in place. Amongst other things, it provides for a one-year transition to new parliamentary and presidential elections. However, at just over the half-way point, the agreement is looking fragile and could yet collapse. The key unresolved issue is whether ex-president Marc Ravalomanana, who has been convicted in absentia on charges of complicity in murder in connection with the shooting of protestors in 2009, should be covered by an unconditional amnesty and allowed to return to Madagascar from abroad. Ravalomanana and his supporters allege that the conviction was unjustified and politically-motivated. In April 2012 an Amnesty Law was passed which appears designed not to apply to him.

  • Jolly a & Sussman RW. 2007. Notes on the History of Ecological Studies
    CHAPTER TWO Notes on the History of Ecological Studies of Malagasy Lemurs Alison Jolly and R.W. Sussman INTRODUCTION Ecological studies in Madagascar have been shaped by three underlying parameters. First is the geography of Madagascar—its 80-million-year isolation, and also the patchy distribution of forests around the island-continent. This geography has fos- tered baroque radiations of allopatric species. Madagascar’s biodiversity is more like an archipelago than either an island or a continent. Each forest, whether wet east- ern rainforest, dry western deciduous forest, or the semiarid spiny forest of the south, holds different lemurs, chameleons, butterflies, and other taxa from the next one, even within a similar climate. Combined with the perpetually perilous state of Madagascar’s roads, the patchiness means that most scientists pick on a single part of the island in which to work. They tend to return to their intellectual “homes,” deepening insight and infrastructure in a series of allopatric research sites. Dedicated to the memory of Madame Berthe Rakotosamimanana, who has inspired so many prima- tologists to study lemurs. Alison Jolly ● Department of Biology and Environmental Science, University of Sussex, Sussex BN1 9QG, United Kingdom R.W. Sussman ● Department of Anthropology, Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri 19 20 Alison Jolly and R.W. Sussman The second great influence is the changeable climate. Madagascar’s forests have spread and shrunk over the scale of eons and millennia, in pluvials and interplu- vials. The wealth of species evolved as the forest nuclei separated or rejoined. On the smaller timescale of a lemur’s or a human’s lifetime, Madagascar falls into the top quarter of the world’s year-to-year erratic rainfall regimes.

  • The Long-Term Effects of Colonial Repression in Madagascar
    The Long-Term Effects of Colonial Repression in Madagascar Omar García-Ponce - University of California, Davis Leonard Wantchekon - Princeton University LSE-Stanford-Universidad de los Andes Conference on Long-Run Development in Latin America, London School of Economics and Political Science, 16-17 May 2018 The Long-Term Eects of Colonial Repression in Madagascar Omar García-Ponce Leonard Wantchekon Uni versity of California, Davis Princeton University [email protected] [email protected] May 15, 2018 Abstract The repression of the 1947 Malagasy uprising is regarded as one of the bloodiest episodes in the history of Colonial Africa. In this paper we show that this violent repression has had a long-lasting impact on people’s political attitudes. Using recent individual-level survey data and geographic and ethnographic information about the repression, we examine the long-term eects of this event on current levels of self-reported freedom of expression. Our empirical strategy is based on a regression discontinuity design that exploits plausible exogenous variation in exposure to the rebellion generated by a mountain range. We nd that exposure to the legacy of repression negatively aects people’s freedom of expression. 1 Introduction On March 29, 1947, a group of Malagasy nationalists revolted against the colonial rule of France in the eastern part of the island. The uprising immediately spread over one-third of Madagascar’s territory, but the French armed forces were able to restore order after receiving reinforcements. By November 1948, the rebels had been erased from the map, resulting in numerous arrests and a death toll estimated to range into the thousands.

Women’s Access to Political Leadership in Madagascar: The Value of History and Social Political Activism Ave Altius1 and Joel Raveloharimisy2 Abstract Globally, wide gaps exist between men’s and women’s participation in leadership roles. This paper explores women’s access to leadership in Madagascar through an examination of women’s participation in politics and government. Research across the literature found three major reasons for women’s political participation: gender quotas, kinship and societal upheaval. However, upon examining Madagascar, women’s participation in leadership involves factors, which were not fully explored in this literature. The historical legacy of Madagascar and women’s social and political activism were the principal factors in women’s participation in leadership.
