National Ownership and Security Sector Reform in Mali
Karoline Eickhoff provides an in-depth analysis of the role that national ownership as a key policy principle of international development and peacebuilding plays in shaping the discourses and practices of external interventions in the context of the peace process in Mali. Engaging critically with the day-to-day work experience and perceptions of practitioners working on supporting the reform of the Malian security sector in 2015-2016,the author explores how external actors ‘make sense’ of an abstract policy model vis-à-vis other organisational demands and constraints arising at the field level. This book concludes with policy recommendations on how the gap between ownership policy and external actors’ field-level practices can be addressed.
Effective and Legitimate Governance in Areas of Limited Statehood
How can effective and legitimate governance be ensured where state institutions are weak? This is a key question for domestic and international politics. One answer to this question that has received considerable attention in political science, but also among development agencies and international organizations, is virtuous circles of governance. In such circles, effective and legitimate governance are thought to be mutually reinforcing. The idea is that more effective governance leads to more legitimacy and more legitimacy to more effectiveness in governance. In many parts of the world, however, state institutions are weak and citizens perceive governance as ineffective and governance actor...
Kenya and the Politics of a Postcolony
This book sets out to probe, explore and evaluate the betrayal of anticolonial nationalism in Kenya. Contemporary Kenya’s emergence is rooted in the colonial enterprise, its deleterious effects and the subsequent decolonization spearheaded by a fierce anti-colonial nationalism that was embodied in freedom struggles at the cultural, political, and military levels. As a settler colony, the colonial settlers hived off millions of hectares of the best land in the highland areas of Kenya and appropriated them for themselves thereby generating a large mass of the landless. This land alienation constituted one of the most deeply felt grievances which, together with the exclusivist, exploitative a...
Wir sind nicht alle
Der Westen ist nicht mehr der Nabel der Welt. Stattdessen treten die Staaten des Globalen Südens mit neuem Selbstbewusstsein auf. Was sind ihre Interessen, Motive und Sichtweisen? Warum teilen sie die Sichtweise des Westens nicht, zum Beispiel gegenüber Russland? Dieses Buch zeigt die Unterschiede der Wahrnehmung internationaler Politik im Westen und im Globalen Süden auf. Ein besseres Verständnis dieser Unterschiede wird immer drängender, je mehr die USA und Europa an ihrer einstigen Dominanz verlieren. Das Buch diskutiert, warum die Staaten des Globalen Südens so handeln, wie sie es tun, warum deren Skepsis gegenüber dem Westen so tief sitzt – und warum in der neuen Vielfalt auch ...
Rechtsstaatsförderung
Promoting constitutional law is an important sphere of action for German foreign and development policy. It is not a monopoly of the state, however, but is implemented by numerous organizations in Germany. The chances of a project succeeding, and also plausible assumptions about its effects, presuppose a knowledge of how to promote constitutional law that has so far not been systematically appreciated and processed, either in German-language research or in practice. This handbook fills that gap by comprehensively bringing together practical experience for the first time and linking it with the results of current legal and sociological research. The conceptual and theoretical foundations for promoting constitutional law are discussed, as are various objectives and instruments. This is based on a broad concept of promoting constitutional law that includes interfaces with other policies such as human rights, promoting democracy, promoting good governance and security sector reform. The 70 authors combine many years of experience in practising the promotion of constitutional law promotion and in legal and social-science research.
