  • From Rentier to Developmental Neo-Patrimonialism in Angola Il Neo-Patrimonialismo in Angola
    EUT EDIZIONI UNIVERSITÀ DI TRIESTE POLIARCHIE/POLYARCHIES 1/2018 ISSN 2611-2914 (online) DOI: 10.13137/2611-2914/20570 ISSN 2611-4216 (print) https://www.openstarts.units.it/handle/10077/20566 From Rentier to Developmental Neo-Patrimonialism In Angola Il Neo-Patrimonialismo in Angola. Dallo stato ‘rentier’ a quello sviluppista* Federico Battera Abstract Since the beginning of the 2000s, a literature suggesting that development is an achievable goal for African states has emerged. Arguments like those that consider ‘neo-patrimonialism’ as an insurmountable obstacle to development have been cast-off in case states embark to re-invest rents in a long-term strategy (Khan and Sundaram 2000; Mkandawire 2001). This paper focuses on Angola, and it tries to determine whether oil rents have been so far employed according to a developmental strategy or for short-term consumption. It further argues that short-term consumption was initially encouraged and tolerated as part of an effort after the end of the civil war (2002) to foster elite cohesion, and it was later on demoted when the government adopted a comprehensive long-term development strategic vision, in 2007. However, the financial crisis of 2007-08 and the recent drop of oil prices have badly impacted on this strategy. As a result, the government is growingly turning to Chinese aid trying to keep the mismanagement of strategic resources under control. Dagli inizi degli anni 2000, è emersa una letteratura che guarda con più favore la possibilità di politi- che di sviluppo da parte degli stati africani. Ipotesi come quella che guardava al ‘neo-patrimonialismo’ come un ostacolo insormontabile per lo sviluppo sono state ridimensionate in quei casi in cui gli Stati abbiano dimostrato capacità di reinvestire le rendite secondo strategie di lungo periodo (Khan and Sundaram 2000; Mkandawire 2001).

Of course, the world has changed over time and to disre- gard the current economy would be fatal. This is undoubtedly the major challenge for the coming years. Addressing it will require men and women who, without losing sight of our founding princi- ples, can also provide new solutions. The required solidarity in a world defined by inequalities is the vital spark igniting FIBA’s humanist work.

  • Brief on India-Angola Relations
    Brief on India-Angola Relations Relations between India and Angola, one of the major oil producers in Africa, are underpinned by a vibrant energy partnership and date back to pre-independence era of Angola. In an act of solidarity, India supported Angolan freedom struggle against the Portuguese colonial rule till the country attained independence in 1975. Since then, the Indian leadership has retained robust ties with the reigning political establishment in Angola - MPLA (Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola). India established diplomatic relations with Angola in 1985. Angola has been supportive of India´s candidature to various posts in the UN and is sympathetic towards India´s interest for membership in an expanded UNSC, J&K, and terrorism etc. Angola supported India’s election to the UNSC’s non- permanent seat for the period 2021-22. The first high level visit from India took place in May 1986 with the visit of Late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi to Angola which was reciprocated by President of Angola José Eduardo dos Santos in April 1987. PM Dr. Manmohan Singh met with President Jose Santos on the sidelines of the G-8 meeting at L’Aquila, Italy on July 10, 2009. During his visit to Johannesburg to attend the BRICS Summit in July 26, 2018, Angolan President Lourenco met Prime Minister Modi and discussed ways to enhance trade and investment between the two countries and also to deepen cooperation in sectors like Energy, agriculture and food processing and pharmaceuticals. Angolan Minister for External Relations Joao Bernardo de Miranda visited India in May 2006.
