  • Transitions in Namibia Which Changes for Whom?
    Transitions in Namibia Which Changes for Whom? Edited by Henning Melber NORDISKA AFRIKAINSTITUTET, UPPSALA 2007 Cover: The restored steam tractor outside the coastal town of Swakop- mund was made in Germany and brought to the country in 1896. It should replace ox wagons as a means of transport in the further colonization of Namibia’s interior. The 2.8 tons heavy machine in need of lots of water never managed it through the sands of the Namib desert. The local colonizers named it after the German reformer Martin Luther, who in 1521 had declared: “Here I stand – may God help me. I can not otherwise.” Today a national monument and put behind glass, Namibia’s “Martin Luther” remains an early symbol for the failure of grand visions.

    DEVELOPMENTAL FUSION: CHINESE INVESTMENT, RESOURCE NATIONALISM, AND THE DISTRIBUTIVE POLITICS OF URANIUM MINING IN NAMIBIA by MEREDITH J.

DeBoom has been approved for the Department of Geography John O’Loughlin, Chair Joe Bryan, Committee Member Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. IRB protocol # 14-0112 iii Abstract DeBoom, Meredith J. (PhD, Geography) Developmental Fusion: Chinese Investment, Resource Nationalism, and the Distributive Politics of Uranium Mining in Namibia Thesis directed by Professor John O’Loughlin China’s rising global influence has significant implications for the politics of natural resource extraction and development in sub-Saharan Africa. Focusing on the uranium industry, I analyze how China’s influence operates at global, national, and sub-national scales in relation to natural resource politics in the southern African country of Namibia. Specifically, I draw on multi-methods fieldwork to evaluate 1) how Namibians are engaging with Chinese investments in mining and 2) what implications these engagements have for the politics of mining and development, including natural resource ownership and the distribution of mining-associated benefits and costs.

  • National Assembly Performance
    Institute for Public Policy Research Not Speaking Out: Measuring National Assembly Performance By Ellison Tjirera and Graham Hopwood IPPR Comment No. 4 September 2009 This paper analyses the amount of contributions that members of the National Assembly made to parliamentary debate from September 2005 to October 2007 as one indicator of parliamentary performance. Although it has been speculated that some members of the National Assembly contribute very little to debates on bills and motions, as far as the IPPR is aware no research since independence has actually sought to quantify how much MPs contribute to debates in the House. The principal measure used for this research paper was the number of lines each MP contributed to debate in the Hansard – the official record of parliament. Originally, the IPPR had hoped to examine Hansard from the inception of the current parliament in 2005 until mid-2009. However, this has proved impossible because Hansard is not available from October 2007 onwards since editions have not been published since then. For this reason this analysis is based on a two-year period from September 2005 to early October 2007, which was felt to be a long enough period to make an assessment of how much MPs contributed to debate. The methodology used by this research paper is restricted solely to the amount of lines that MPs have contributed to the official record of parliamentary proceedings. No attempt is made to assess the quality of those contributions as this would involve highly subjective value judgements. This paper also does not attempt to assess how MPs may contribute to other aspects of parliamentary life, for example the committee system.

Tijdens mijn bezoek was ik in de gelegenheid gesprekken te voeren met President Sam Nujoma, de Minister van Buitenlandse Zaken, de Vice-Minister van Lager Onderwijs en Cultuur, de Minister van Hoger Onderwijs, Vakscholing, Wetenschap en Technologie, de Vice-Minister van Financie¨ n en de Directeur-Generaal van de National Planning Commission. De Minister van Landbouw, Water en Plattelandsontwikkeling begeleidde mij tijdens een veldbezoek aan de door Nederland gefinan- cierde drinkwatervoorzieningen in het Noorden van het land. Gesprek met President Sam Nujoma President Nujoma ontving mij op zijn verblijf in Terrace Bay aan de zogeheten Skeleton Coast Namibie¨ . De President opende het gesprek door zijn dank uit te spreken aan het Nederlandse volk voor de ruimhartige steun aan SWAPO tijdens de onafhankelijkheidsstrijd en de grote en voortdurende steun na de onafhankelijkheid. Hij memoreerde de Nederlandse bilaterale projecten in uitvoering en wees vooral op de enorme behoeften aan scholing en vaardigheidstraining wegens het gebrek aan goed opgeleid kader in vrijwel alle sectoren van de economie. Hij zei voorts te hopen dat ook het Nederlandse bedrijfsleven betrokken zou kunnen worden bij de ontwikkeling van Namibie¨ , in de vorm van directe investeringen of de opzet van joint ventures.
