It integrates concepts and perspectives of contemporary history, international relations, and security studies. Its main aim is to analyse security issues in Africa, taking as a reference the Cape Verde archipelago, which is part of the group of Small Island Developing States. This matter suggests a wider multidimensional approach that prioritizes the intersection of data obtained from a critical analysis in order to deepen regional cooperation and integration mechanisms. This can provide the Cape Verdean state with strategic options to prevent and mitigate potential security threats. Keywords: Africa; Cape Verde; Small Island Developing States; development and security.

Ferreira Follow this and additional works at: https://vc.bridgew.edu/jcvs Part of the Critical and Cultural Studies Commons, and the International and Area Studies Commons This item is available as part of Virtual Commons, the open-access institutional repository of Bridgewater State University, Bridgewater, Massachusetts. © 2019 Eunice S. Ferreira Cape Verdean Theatre: Enacting Political Theory and Reclaiming Roots for Crioulo Performance by Eunice S. Ferreira Abstract Shining a spotlight on the Cape Verde Islands illuminates the rich diversity of theatre of the African diaspora and places its unique crioulo identity and creole identities in general, center stage. This article focuses on the post-independence theatre movement in Cape Verde where the re-Africanization theories of Amílcar Cabral (assassinated PAIGC leader in Cape Verde’s liberation struggle) shaped national identity and guided the pioneering work of theatre troupe Korda Kaoberdi (Wake up, Cape Verde). Under the dynamic leadership of Francisco Gomes Fragoso, a medical doctor who adopted the artistic name of Kwame Kondé, the troupe Korda Kaoberdi sought to create “a genuinely Cape Verdean and authentically African theatre.” Armed with the tenets of Cabral’s political theory, Fragoso reclaimed performance traditions that had been suppressed during Portuguese colonialism in order to train actors as combatants in cultural warfare. In doing so, Fragoso positioned the fledgling theatre artists of Korda Kaoberdi alongside the freedom fighters, asserting as Cabral did that culture is a weapon and sign of liberation. The author offers first-ever reconstructions of their historical productions based on archival research, Fragoso’s own writings, festival participant-observations, and personal interviews.

    UNIÃO EUROPEIA DELEGAÇÃO NA REPÚBLICA DE CABO VERDE EU/Cape Verde Special Partnership Celebration Week 2015 Report 1 | P a g e EU/CV Special Partnership Celebration Week 2015-Rep o r t EUD to Cape Verde 1. Introduction Within the framework of the celebrations of the Special Partnership Week 2015 and the Europe Day, the Delegation of the European Union has organized a variety of events in partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MIREX) and other national and local Cape Verdean authorities. The EU-CV Special Partnership (SP) Week 2015, running from 04 to 12 of May, aims to give visibility to the progress of this important relationship and reflect the diversified mainstreaming of this cooperation: security, knowledge and cultural promotion, civil society support, business enhancement and water and sanitation. This week has been providing an important opportunity for the EUD to strengthen and spread the message on the importance of the promotion of a more dynamic business environment as well as the attraction of FDI to boost the country's key economic and productive sectors, such as tourism. Due to this significant diversification of events, the SP Week this year managed to reach a highly diversified public, and caught great attention from national and international media (see section #4). 2. Description of Events 2.1. Press Conference To mark the start of this week, the EU Ambassador Jose Manuel Pinto Teixeira, and the Cape Verdean Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Dr. Maria de Jesus Miranda made a joint press conference on 04 May at 10:30 at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MIREX).

  • Televisão E Democracia Em Cabo Verde: Entre a Expectativa Da Cidada- Nia E As Investidas Políticas
    Anua?rio:Layout 1 09/03/17 11:18 Page 69 Televisão e democracia em Cabo Verde: Entre a expectativa da cidada- nia e as investidas políticas Silvino Lopes Évora* Helena Sousa** Resumo Apesar do fim do monopólio da televisão estatal em Cabo Verde estar previsto desde 1992, foi apenas no final de 2006 que esta ideia política se materializou. A abertura da televisão à iniciativa privada foi sendo sistematicamente adida pelas autorida- des e foi a forte pressão da das empresas interessadas em entrar no mercado e da sociedade civil que tornou este desenvolvimento inevitável. Neste artigo, procura explicar-se um conjunto de factores que contribuiram para esta decisão política e examina-se as principais dinâmicas do sistema mediático cabo-verdiano e respecti- vas conexões com o sistema social mais amplo. Este texto aborda o aparecimento da primeira estação privada oficial que, à margem das determinações legais, recebeu uma licença provisória até à abertura do concurso no qual participou e examina as conexões que os projectos televisivos concorrentes têm com os principais partidos políticos, numa tentativa de iluminar a (re)organização das forças em presença e de reflectir sobre a fragilidade da liberdade de imprensa num país em consolidação democrática. Palavras-chave: Televisão, democracia, liberdade, política, cidadania, Cabo-Verde Apesar das extraordinárias transformações no campo da comunicação e dos media, a televisão continua a ser a principal fonte de informações e de entretenimento para milhares de milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo (Straubhaar, 2007; Tunstall, 2008, Sinclair, 1999). As possibilidades oferecidas pela Internet alteram os padrões de con- sumo televisivo.

  • Local Sourcing in the Cabo Verde Tourism Food Supply Chain
    Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Local Sourcing in the Cabo Verde Tourism Food Supply Chain Opportunities and Challenges October 2019 Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized 1 Final Report October 2019 Preface & Acknowledgements This research report was commissioned under the Diversifying Tourism and Strengthening Linkages ASA (P169076) and was led by a team of consultants comprised by Mr. Carlos Faria (lead international consultant) and Mr. Helder Martins (local expert), under the supervision of Laurent Corthay (Senior Private Sector Specialist, EA2F1) and António Baptista (Consultant, EMFTX). The purpose of this report is to explore the potential to increase local sourcing in the tourism food supply chain in Cabo Verde, with a particular emphasis on agriculture and fisheries. The team conducted detailed quantitative surveys1 and interviews with a sample of food and beverage managers of large all-inclusive units present in Boa Vista and Sal islands, as well as large import wholesalers servicing these units. The purpose was to ascertain prices and volumes purchased per type of product, in addition to locally sourced content. The team also interviewed additional stakeholders, namely greenhouse entrepreneurs, local fishery and aquaculture entrepreneurs, greenhouse and solar power and water desalination equipment suppliers, development partners, and administration, such as the General-Directorate of Agriculture, Forestry and Livestock (DGASP), and General-Directorate of Tourism and Transports (DGTT). An analytical framework was developed to map areas of opportunity and relative competitiveness in local production vis-à-vis imports. The interviews and surveys were conducted in Sal, São Vicente and Santiago islands during two missions in March and May of 2019.
