    Series Statement: GIGA Focus. Afrika 2023, Nummer 2 (April 2023)
    Keywords: Afrika Nigeria ; Politik und Gesellschaft ; Wahl ; Digitale Medien
    Abstract: Africa reportedly exhibits lower overall levels of electoral integrity compared to other world regions. Remedying this situation has occasioned an explosion in the adoption of election technology. In 2023, Nigeria joined the wave of election digitalisation by holding its most technologically advanced polls since the inception of the Fourth Republic. But evidence from the elections contradicts the much-touted credibility guarantees that such technology comes with. (Verlagsangaben)

By reminding us of the fundamental importance of placing Indigenous politics, histories, and ontologies at the center of our social movements, Indigenous Resurgence positions environmental justice within historical, social, political, and economic contexts, exploring the troubling relationship between colonial and environmental violence and reframing climate change and environmental degradation through an anticolonial lens.

To day, many countries are discussing how to boost the number of women in pol itics and business. Some sub-Saharan African countries are already among the top 25 in terms of proportion of women in parliament, and boast above-average percentages of women on corporate boards. How did women become leaders in these sectors?

    Abstract: Climate change is a slowly advancing crisis sweeping over the planet and affecting different habitats in strikingly diverse ways. While nations have signed treaties and implemented policies, most actual climate change assessments, adaptations, and countermeasures take place at the local level. People are responding by adjusting their practices, livelihoods, and cultures, protesting and migrating. This book portrays the diversity of explanations and remedies as expressed at the community level and its emphasis on the crucial importance of ethnographic detail in demonstrating how people in different parts of the world are scaling down the phenomenon of global warming.

    Abstract: In 2022, Kenyan electoral authorities took the radical decision to digitally publish handwritten result forms from over 46,000 polling stations, allowing any Kenyan with an Internet connection to tabulate results. Unlike Brazil and the United States, they avoided electronic voting machines but opted for paper ballots alongside digital transparency. This combination may have contributed to the notably peaceful election seen.

    Abstract: Am 20. Oktober 2020 jährte sich zum ersten Mal die Erschießung von zahlreichen unbewaffneten Demonstrierenden durch das nigerianische Militär. Die Bewegung EndSARS, die sich für die Abschaffung der daran beteiligten Sondereinheit Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) einsetzt, hat gezeigt, wie soziale Medien marginalisierten Akteuren Gehör verschaffen können. Die jüngsten Entwicklungen im Zusammenhang mit der Regulierung der sozialen Medien zeigen jedoch, dass das Recht auf freie Meinungsäußerung weiter unter Druck ist. (Verlagsangabe)The 20 October 2021 marks the first anniversary of the shooting of unarmed protesters by the Nigerian military. The movement pushing to abolish the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) has proved how social media can make the voices of the weak heard. However, recent developments surrounding social media regulations in the aftermath of the shooting show that the right to freedom of expression is at risk of regression. (Verlagsangabe)

Touching on topics including industrial history, colonial town planning, social control and materiality, gender relations and neoliberal structural change, After Corporate Paternalism offers unique insights into how people reappropriate former corporate spaces and transform them into personal projects of renovation, fundamentally changing the characteristics of their community.

    Abstract: Since the Iraq war, the Middle East has been in continuous upheaval, resulting in the displacement of millions of people. Arriving from Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, and Syria in other parts of the world, the refugees show remarkable resilience and creativity amidst profound adversity. Through careful ethnography, this book vividly illustrates how refugees navigate regimes of exclusion, including cumbersome bureaucracies, financial insecurities, medical challenges, vilifying stereotypes, and threats of violence. The collection bears witness to their struggles, while also highlighting their aspirations for safety, settlement, and social inclusion in their host societies and new homes. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: The conceptualization of dementia has changed dramatically in recent years with the claim that, through early detection and by controlling several risk factors, a prevention of dementia is possible. Although encouraging and providing hope against this feared condition, this claim is open to scrutiny. This volume looks at how this new conceptualization ignores many of the factors which influence a dementia sufferers` prognosis, including their history with education, food and exercise as well as their living in different epistemic cultures. The central aim is to question the concept of prevention and analyze its impact on aging people and aging societies. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: Energy related infrastructures are crucial to political organization. They shape the contours of states and international bodies, as well as corporations and communities, framing their material existence and their fears and idealisations of the future. Ethnographies of Power brings together ethnographic studies of contemporary entanglements of energy and political power. Revisiting classic anthropological notions of power, it asks how changing energy related infrastructures are implicated in the consolidation, extension or subversion of contemporary political regimes and discovers what they tell us about politics today.

Was rein technische Verhandlungen hätten sein können, hat sich in politischen Stillstand verwandelt. Der GERD ist zu einer neuen Realität geworden, die die traditionelle Dynamik im Nileinzugsgebiet infrage stellt. Drei Schlüsselfaktoren können den derzeitigen Stillstand erklären. (Verlagsangabe)The failure of the latest talks over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) has intensified tensions between Ethiopia and downstream states Egypt and Sudan. What could have been strictly technical negotiations have turned into a political deadlock. The GERD has become a new reality challenging the traditional dynamics in the Nile River Basin.

    Keywords: Afrika Epidemie ; Gesundheitswesen
    Abstract: Dem Anschein nach haben viele afrikanische Länder die Coronavirus-Krise bislang gut bewältigt. Allerdings stellen die zögerliche Impfbereitschaft und eine drohende Rezession eine anhaltende Herausforderung für das Vertrauen in die Regierung dar. Um sich auch gegen zukünftige Krisen zu wappnen, müssen die Regierungen aktiv Vertrauen aufbauen. Die Ebola-Epidemie hat gezeigt, dass hierbei ein Bottom-up-Ansatz helfen kann, in dem bereits bestehende Netzwerke und Institutionen auf lokaler Ebene genutzt werden. In Kontexten, in denen die Befugnisse der Exekutive erweitert wurden, sollte die weitere Entwicklung besonders sorgfältig beobachtet werden. (Fazit)COVID-19, arguably the new millennium`s most trying test of state capacity, caught the world off guard. In order to contain the spread of the virus, gov ernments had to respond quickly and comprehensively: strict lockdowns, movement restrictions, masks, and social distancing - measures that draw not only on public resources but also on the buy-in and cooperation of civil society. Citizen compliance and cooperation are founded on trust in govern ment institutions. As such, the pandemic has also been a stress test for trust in government. (Verlagsangaben)

Vor dem Jahr 1990 war Afrika die Region mit den meisten Militärregimen und Militärputschen. Nach dem Ende des Kalten Krieges hat sich das Militär jedoch immer mehr aus der Politik zurückgezogen. Allerdings bleiben die Streitkräfte weiterhin ein wichtiger politischer Akteur mit dem zu rechnen ist. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: Recent years have seen a re-militarisation around the world, with the military making a comeback on the political scene, especially in Latin America. In sub-Saharan Africa, though, the trend seems different: Before 1990, Africa was the region with most military coups, and many countries on the continent were ruled by military regimes. Since 1990, however, the military has been steadily returning to the barracks. Despite this, the armed forces still matter in politics and remain a force to be reckoned with. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: Examining which actors determine undocumented migrants` access to healthcare on the ground, this volume looks at what happens in the daily interactions between administrative personnel, healthcare professionals and migrant patients in healthcare institutions across Europe. Borders across Healthcare explores contemporary moral economies of the healthcare-migration nexus. The volume documents the many ways in which borders come to disrupt healthcare settings and illuminates how judgements of a health-related deservingness become increasingly important, producing hierarchies that undermine a universal right to healthcare.

Die Berichte des African Centre for Disease Control zeigen, dass die Infektionen zunehmen. Wenn keine effektiven Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung ergriffen werden, wird dies drastische Auswirkungen auf den Kontinent haben.

It also epitomised the potential repercussions of the phenomenon for livelihoods and security on the African continent. However, current research only sees a weak connection between climate and violent conflict.Die schlimmste Dürre des Jahrhunderts im südlichen Afrika trocknete Ende des vorigen Jahres die weltberühmten Viktoria-Fälle an der Grenze zwischen Simbabwe und Sambia zu einem kümmerlichen Rinnsal aus. Die Bilder der trockenen Wasserfälle heizten die Diskussionen über die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels auf die Lebensbedingungen und die Sicherheit der Menschen auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent erneut an. Die aktuelle Forschung sieht jedoch nur eine schwache Verbindung zwischen Klima und gewaltsamen Konflikten.

A recent World Bank report suggests that an additional 26 to 40 million subSaharan Africans could fall into poverty due to the pandemic. At the same time, some African economies are reporting initial signs of economic recovery.

    Abstract: Seit dem Nordmali-Krieg im Jahr 2012 stehen die Sahelländer im Fokus internationaler Unterstützung und militärischen Engagements. Dennoch ist die Region fragiler als je zuvor. Durch die Ausbreitung dschihadistischer Gruppierungen in Mali, Burkina Faso und Niger wurden die Staaten an den Rand des Zusammenbruchs gebracht. Im August 2020 stürzte das Militär die Regierung Malis nach wochenlangen öffentlichen Unruhen. Die Notwendigkeit einer Neuausrichtung des internationalen Engagements ist unübersehbar geworden.Since the Northern Mali war of 2012, the Sahel countries have seen substantial international aid and military involvement. Yet, the region is more fragile than ever. As jihadist groups have established themselves throughout Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger, violence has escalated dramatically and states have been pushed to the brink of collapse. In August 2020, after weeks of public unrest, Mali`s government was toppled by a military coup. There is a palpable need to rethink international engagement in the Sahel region. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: The left-wing Pink Tide movement that swept across Latin America seems now to be overturned, as a new wave of free-market thinkers emerge across the continent. This book analyses the emergence of corporate power within Latin America and the response of egalitarian movements across the continent trying to break open the constraints of the state. Through an ethnographically grounded and localized anthropological perspective, this book argues that at a time when the regular structures of political participation have been ruptured, the Latin American context reveals multiple expressions of egalitarian movements that strive (and sometimes momentarily manage) to break through the state's apparatus.
