Die 14 Beiträge des Bandes gehen auf eine Konferenz der Afrikanischen Politikwissenschaftlichen Vereinigung im Oktober 1998 zurück. Sie zentrieren sich um die Chancen Afrikas im Prozess der Globalisierung und dessen Wirkung auf den afrikanischen Staat; besondere Beachtung findet die regionale Integration. Ein erster Teil mit vier Beiträgen widmet sich den Wirkungen der Globalisierung auf den post-kolonialen Staat und seinen Optionen in diesem Prozess; ein Beitrag untersucht die möglichen Konsequenzen des WTO-Abkommens für afrikanische Ökonomien. Im zweiten Teil geht es in drei Beiträgen um Regionalisierung und regionale Kooperation (im Rahmen von SADC und der Indian Ocean Commission). Teil drei thematisiert den Zusammenhang von Globalisierung und Demokratie (hier ein Beitrag zum Staatszerfall in Guinea-Bissau und zur Identitätsbildung von Siedlern in Südafrika). Ein vierter und letzter Teil befasst sich mit Menschenrechten und Gender Politics in Afrika. (DÜI-Sbd)

Power, violence and accumulation.
In discussing the relationship between power, violence and accumulation in contemporary Africa, one must keep one's distance from pseudo-scientific analysis, clichés and phantasms which see only the pathological aspects of African politics. The use of force not only is the necessary condition for domination, but also the way to obtain labour and an essential element in the struggle for the monopoly of accumulation.

The cities, as the object of Africanists, have been seen as the underlying underlying of African politics. Based on a reading of 'rural communitarians' and 'urban societies', the African city was, however, outside the scope of secondary or interdepartmental localities, which were relocated to the world of RURALITE. For this reason, the example of Be Égue édo, a localite located in the province of Boulgou (Burkina Faso), provides here the anchor of a historical and anthropological reflection on the political status of a town of origin by building autonomy or even a form of sovereign power. On the basis of terminology which signs a city, that is to say, the city, but also a 'country' built on the mobility of productive activities and on the construction of commercial and migrant businesses, we try to show the finality of the relationship between the country, the country's country and the country in the process of completing the city's political status. Understood as a form of interpersonal or entrenched communities, thus complying with the social and political methods of a line-to-home organisation, the localite of Be Égue édo feeds the population of a segmented city. ; International audience ; The cities, as the object of Africanists, have been seen as the underlying underlying of African politics.
