Although there was initial progress, these reforms have largely stalled and, in many cases, gone backward. If there were sufficient incentives to inaugurate reform, why wasn't there enough momentum to continue and deepen them? This book approaches this question by looking at a number of promising reforms, understanding the incentives of officials at different levels, and the way the Chinese Communist Party operates at the local level. The short answer is that the sort of reforms necessary to make local officials more responsible to the citizens they govern cut too deeply into the organizational structure of the party.The Logic & Limits of Political Reform in ChinaPolitical participationChinaLocal governmentChinaDemocratizationChinaChinaPolitics and governmentPolitical participationLocal governmentDemocratization320.951Fewsmith Joseph1949-269071UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910453073503321Logic and limits of political reform in China1738798UNINA05165nam 22006135 450 991051357690332120251202151006.03-030-82056-410.1007/978-3-030-82056-5(MiAaPQ)EBC6827107(Au-PeEL)EBL6827107(CKB)20151340700041(BIP)080709204(DE-He213)978-3-030-82056-5(EXLCZ)992015134070004120211214d2021 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierXenophobia, Nativism and Pan-Africanism in 21st Century Africa History, Concepts, Practice and Case Study /edited by Sabella Ogbobode Abidde, Emmanuel Kasonde Matambo1st ed. 2021.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2021.1 online resource (xxxii, 316 pages) illustrations (some color)Print version: Abidde, Sabella Ogbobode Xenophobia, Nativism and Pan-Africanism in 21st Century Africa Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2021 9783030820558 Section One: Pan-Africanism Then and Now -- Chapter 1: The Utility of Pan-Africanism in Africa and the African Diaspora -- Chapter 2: How Relevant is Black Nationalism and Pan-Africanism in the Twenty-First Century -- Chapter 3: Xeno-Afrophobia and Pan-Africanism: What lies beneath the mask of an Identity -- Chapter 4: South Africa’s Segue from Apartheid to Xenophobia: An Analysis Using René Dumont’s False Start for Africa and Frantz Fanon’s Pitfalls of National Consciousness -- Section Two: History in Colonial and Apartheid Eras -- Chapter 5: African History and its Contradictions: Re-thinking the Pan-Africanist Idea of Egyptology in Ayi Kwei Armah’s KMT -- Chapter 6: Colonial Xenophobia and the Fear of ‘Foreign’ Politics in the Nineteenth-Century Cape Colony -- Chapter 7: Apartheid Segregation Laws as an Underlying Instigator of Xenophobia in South Africa: A Critical Reflection -- Chapter 8: A Theoretical Understanding of Xenophobia Through an Invisible Participant -- Section Three: Xenophobiain Contemporary Africa -- Chapter 9: Xenophobic attacks in South Africa: African responses in the context of Pan-Africanism -- Chapter 10: Xenophobia Attacks on Nigerians in South Africa: Counting the Human and Economic Costs -- Chapter 11: Xenophobia, Nativism and Regional Integration in Central Africa -- Chapter 12: Xenophobia in historical perspective: Causation, Consequences and Conquest -- Section Four: Nativism in Africa -- Chapter 13: Three Times a State, Never a Nation: Indians in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe -- Chapter 14: Social media and its role in Nationalistic Influence in Africa -- Chapter 15: Nativism in Nigeria: The Struggle for Ownership and Control of Resources -- Chapter 16: The Politics of Race and Colour in Southern Africa -- Chapter 17: Concluding Remarks: The Specter of Identity Politics against a Pan-African Backdrop -- Index.This edited volume systematically analyzes the connection between xenophobia, nativism, and Pan-Africanism. It situates attacks on black Africans by fellow black Africans within the context of ideals such as Pan-Africanism and Ubuntu, which emphasize unity. The book straddles a range of social science perspectives to explain why attacks on foreign nationals in Africa usually entail attacks on black foreign nationals. Written by an international and interdisciplinary team of scholars, the book is divided into four sections that each explain a different facet of this complicated relationship. Section One discusses the history of colonialism and apartheid and their relationship to xenophobia. Section Two critically evaluates Pan-Africanism as a concept and as a practice in 21st century Africa. Section Three presents case studies on xenophobia in contemporary Africa. Section Four similarly discusses cases of nativism. Addressing a complex issue incontemporary African politics, this volume will be of use to students and scholars interested in African studies, African politics, human rights, migration, history, law, and development economics.AfricaPolitics and governmentEmigration and immigrationAfricaHistoryImperialismAfrican PoliticsHuman MigrationAfrican HistoryImperialism and ColonialismAfricaPolitics and government.Emigration and immigration.AfricaHistory.Imperialism.African Politics.Human Migration.African History.Imperialism and Colonialism.305.800960905Abidde Sabella Ogbobode1962-1852852Matambo Emmanuel Kasonde1071393MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910513576903321Xenophobia, Nativism and Pan-Africanism in 21st Century Africa4521747UNINA
