Upphovsperson: Wiking, Staffan
Utgivare: Nordiska Afrikainstitutet | Uppsala : Nordiska Afrikainstitutet
År: 1983
Ämnesord: history, Post-war, Theses, history, Sub-Saharan Africa, Coups d'etat, Political crisis, Government military relations, Political power, Political science, Statsvetenskap
This is a comparative study of military coups in Africa south of the Sahara between 1958 and 1980. The study is divided into three parts. The first part deals with some different theories found in literature concerning coups d'état on a more general level. The second part is an empirical review concentrating on the justifications given by the military leaders for their interventions. The third part is an attempt to compare the explanations given by the researchers in Part one with the justifications presented in Part two.

The rural-urban interface in Africa : expansion and adaptation

Medarbetare: Baker, Jonathan | Pedersen, Poul Ove
Utgivare: Uppsala : Nordiska Afrikainstitutet; Centre for Development Research, Copenhagen ;
År: 1992
Ämnesord: Small towns, Agriculture, Rural-urban relations, Entrepreneurship, Africa, SOCIAL SCIENCES, SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP
This book explores how some of the specific sectors, organisations and actors influence and shape the functioning of small towns in Africa. A number of the contributors of the volume point to the resilience and ingenuity of Africa's rural and urban population and demonstrate how they adapt strategies which enables them to survive and, in some cases, even to thrive. Case studies are drawn from Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana, Namibia, Nigeria, Somalia, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. The volume fills a gap for undergraduate and graduate courses in geography, sociology, anthropology, development studies, as well as urban and rural planning.
