SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA

THE BASICS OF SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA Forty-nine distinct “nations” (15 of which are landlocked): Irredentism, separatism, & nationalism Ethnically and religiously diverse: 1000 groups! Does this have to be a problem? Languages: Colonial legacy languages, Swahili, and 800 indigenous Lots of religious diversity A handful of states matter the most: Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Kenya & the Congo

CAN WE REALLY TALK ABOUT ONE AFRICA POLITICALLY? Many different political systems but with similarities: Longstanding democracies: Botswana and Senegal Single-party democracies: Kenya, South Africa Entrenched Authoritarian Regimes: the Congo (formerly Zaire) and Zimbabwe Failed States: Somalia, Sudan, the Congo

CRITICAL JUNCTURES IN THE HISTORY OF SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN Muslim penetration from the North (7 th Century); today Islam is the predominant religion in 14 countries. Portuguese arrive (15 th Century): Slaves, Gold, Ivory… but only on the coast at first. European exploration and missionaries (18 th and 19 th C): Penetration comes late 1885 (Conference of Berlin) to 1912: The race for Africa and its division

WHY WAS THE COLONIAL EXPERIENCE IN AFRICA DIFFERENT? Variations in colonial occupation and exploitation: Portugal, France, Britain, Germany, and Belgium Scientific racism (vs. Latin American genocide and “whitening” policies) Very weak & divided indigenous elite classes (usually an ethnic minority) Little nation or civic building Very little indigenous industry; exclusively dependent development (dependency theory…The first world learned its lesson with the US and Lat Am)

WHY WAS INDEPENDENCE IN AFRICA DIFFERENT? Remember, independence came late! Independence and nationalism because of borders The curse of natural resources Poor leadership and weak multi-party regimes Cold War dictators and single party authoritarianism (Angola and Mozambique) Africa’s third way of development (ideology and crony capitalism)

THE THIRD WAVE & SOME DEVELOPMENT HITS AFRICA (1990s forward) Take another look at the democratization chart:

THE THIRD WAVE HITS AFRICA (1990s forward) The end of the Cold War, HW Bush, & aid conditionality The independence generation: changes in leadership and democracy The snowballing effect of theSouth African democratic transition (1994): : 36 military/authoritarian regimes reduced to nine Since 9-11: Aid, democratization, and counter-terrorism

UNFORTUNATELY, DEMOCRACY DOES NOT RESOLVE ALL PROBLEMS

Increased ethnic violence and the decay of strong regimes that could promote state-led development Patronage and lootocracies still thrive Growth problems will continue with global slow down (commodity problem) The Chinese model comes to Africa The IMF and conditionality Aids: 25 million (5-7%) Africans with HIV in 2003
