The security-development nexus : expressions of Sovereignty and securitization in Southern Africa
Description
An account of the resource
The link between security and development has been rediscovered after 9/11 by a broad range of scholars. Focusing on Southern Africa, the Security-Development Nexus shows that the much debated linkage is by no means a recent invention. Rather, the security/development linkage has been an important element of the state policies of colonial as well as post-colonial regimes during the Cold War, and it seems to be prospering in new configurations under the present wave of democratic transitions. Contributors focus on a variety of contexts from South Africa, Mozambique and Namibia, to Zimbabwe and Democratic Congo; they explore the nexus and our understanding of security and development through the prism of peace-keeping interventions, community policing, human rights, gender, land contests, squatters, nation and state-building, social movements, DDR programmes and the different trajectories democratization has taken in different parts of the region.

Development from below : a Namibian case study
Description
An account of the resource
This Discussion Paper offers a revised lecture by Reinhart Kössler, which was originally presented to a Research Forum organised by The Nordic Africa Institute jointly with the Seminar for Development Studies of Uppsala University. It deals with aspects of rebuilding societies from below firstly in a general development studies discourse on a more theoretical level, considering aspects of the current debate on globalisation. This is followed by a concrete case study from southern Namibia. It illustrates local responses by the Witbooi-Nama in Gibeon to (re-)define identity within the context of a (nation-)state in a post-apartheid society. The paper is commented upon by two discussants (Per Strand and Henning Melber). The contributions reflect on the issue of social reconstruction in the context of (southern) Africa with reference to a particular marginalised group. They deal, among other things, with the question of social power and the "invention of tradition" in local efforts to gain from, or seek integration into, the nation building process.

'One Namibia - One Nation' - A Qualitative Study of the Official Nation-building Process and Experienced Participation among Rural San in Namibia.
Description
An account of the resource
Namibia won its independence in 1990 after a long liberation struggle lead by the – since independence ruling party – SWAPO. There is an ongoing nation-building process in the multiethnic country ever since, with a vision about a unified nation. This study examines the relationship between the nation and one of its ethnic minority groups; the San. From a socio-economic perspective the San is the most disadvantaged ethnic group of contemporary Namibia. How do members of San experience national participation? How does the nation handle the ethnic diversity? This study illustrates that a national identity is promoted by the government and that the struggle for an unified nation is legitimized with the liberation struggle and its won independence. At the same time members of San seem to identify their living situation with ethnicity and are more concerned about the survival of their closest community than national participation. The discussion is based on qualitative interviews where experiences among San-members and one NGO-volunteer are analysed with inspiration of the method Grounded Theory, related to earlier research on the field and theories of nationalism and ethnicity.

The Tourism-Development Nexus in Namibia : A Study on National Tourism Policy and Local Tourism Enterprises' Policy Knowledge
Description
An account of the resource
PhD Dissertation - "The tourism development nexus in southern Africa involves highly topical issues related to tourism planning, power relations, community participation, and natural resources. Namibia offers a particularly interesting context for the study of these issues due to its colonial legacy, vast tourism potential, recently adopted tourism policy and community-based approaches to tourism and natural resource management. This study is an interdisciplinary endeavour to analyse the role of tourism in Namibia s post-apartheid transformation process by focusing on Namibian tourism policy and local tourism enterprises' policy knowledge. Major attention is paid to how the tourism policy's national development objectives are understood and conceptualised by the representatives of different tourism enterprises and the ways in which they relate to the practical needs of the enterprises. Through such local policy knowledge the study explores various opportunities, challenges and constraints related to the promotion of tourism as a development strategy. The study utilises a political economy approach to tourism and development through three current and interrelated discourses which are relevant in the Namibian context. These are tourism, power and inequality, tourism and sustainable development, and tourism and poverty reduction. The qualitative research material was gathered in Namibia in 2006-2007 and 2008. This material consists of 34 semi-structured interviews in 16 tourism enterprises, including private trophy hunting farms and private lodges, small tour operators and community-based tourism enterprises. In addition, the research material consists of observations in the enterprises, and 37 informal and 23 expert interviews. The findings indicate that in the light of local tourism enterprises the tourism policy objectives appear more complex and ambiguous. Furthermore, they involve multiple meanings and interpretations which reflect the socio-economic stratification of the informants and Namibian society, together with the professional stratification of the tourism enterprises and restrictions on the capacity of tourism to address the development objectives. In the light of such findings it is obvious that aspects of power and inequality affect the tourism development nexus in Namibia. The study concludes that, as in the case of other southern African countries, in order to promote sustainable development and reduce poverty, Namibia should not only target tourism growth but pay attention to who benefits from that growth and how. From a political economy point of view, it is important that prevailing structural challenges are addressed equally in the planning of tourism, development and natural resource management. Such approach would help the Namibian majority to enjoy the benefits of increasing tourism in the country. Matkailun ja kehityksen välinen suhde eteläisessä Afrikassa heijastaa ajankohtaisia kysymyksiä matkailun suunnittelusta, valtasuhteista, paikallisten yhteisöjen osallistumisesta ja luonnonvaroista. Namibia sopii oivallisesti näiden kysymysten tarkasteluun maan poliittisen historian, matkailupotentiaalin, tuoreen matkailupolitiikan ja yhteisöpohjaisten lähestymistapojensa johdosta. Tämä tutkimus tarkastelee matkailun roolia Namibian itsenäisyyden jälkeisessä kehityksessä kansallisen matkailupolitiikan ja paikallisten matkailutoimijoiden politiikkatietämyksen valossa. Tutkimus selvittää miten eri matkailuyritysten edustajat ymmärtävät ja käsitteellistävät matkailupolitiikan sisältämiä kansallisia kehitystavoitteita. Paikallisen politiikkatietämyksen kautta tutkimus tarkastelee matkailuun kehitysstrategiana liittyviä mahdollisuuksia, haasteita ja rajoituksia. Tutkimus lähestyy matkailun ja kehityksen välistä suhdetta poliittisen taloustieteen näkökulmasta kolmen ajankohtaisen ja toisiinsa kytkeytyvän diskurssin kautta, jotka soveltuvat erityisesti Namibian kontekstiin. Ne ovat matkailu, valta ja eriarvoisuus, matkailu ja kestävä kehitys sekä matkailu ja köyhyyden vähentäminen. Laadullinen tutkimusaineisto on kerätty Namibiassa 2006-2007 ja 2008. Se koostuu 34 teemahaastattelusta 16 matkailuyrityksessä, joihin lukeutuvat yksityiset metsästystilat ja majatalot, pienyrittäjä-matkanjärjestäjät sekä yhteisöpohjaiset matkailuyritykset. Lisäksi aineisto koostuu matkailuyritysten havainnoinnista ja 37 epävirallisesta sekä 23 asiantuntijahaastattelusta. Tutkimus osoittaa, että paikallisten matkailuyritysten valossa matkailupolitiikan kehitystavoitteet ovat monimutkaisempia ja tulkinnanvaraisempia. Niihin liittyy erilaisia merkityksiä ja tulkintoja, jotka heijastavat haastateltujen matkailuyrittäjien ja Namibian yhteiskunnan sosio-taloudellista kerrostuneisuutta sekä haastateltavien ammatillista kerrostuneisuutta ja matkailun rajoittuneisuutta kansallisten kehitystavoitteiden edistämisessä. Näiden tulosten valossa valtaan ja eriarvoisuuteen liittyvät kysymykset vaikuttavat keskeisesti matkailun ja kehityksen väliseen suhteeseen Namibiassa. Tutkimuksen johtopäätöksenä on, että kestävän kehityksen ja köyhyyden vähentämisen edistämiseksi Namibian ei tulisi ainoastaan keskittyä kasvattamaan matkailua ja sen talousvaikutuksia, vaan huomiota tulisi kiinnittää yhtälailla siihen, ketkä hyötyvät matkailun kasvusta ja millä tavoin. Poliittisen taloustieteen näkökulmasta on tärkeää, että vallitseviin rakenteellisiin ongelmiin puututaan sekä matkailun ja kehityksen suunnittelussa että luonnonvarojen hallinnoinnissa. Tällainen lähetysmistapa edesauttaisi Namibian enemmistön hyötymistä lisääntyvästä matkailusta."

Human Rights in Human Development Co-operation - a Review on Whether the Icelandic International Development Agency Improves Human Rights in Namibia
Description
An account of the resource
B.A. Thesis (Law) - Human Development Co-operation (HDC-op) has been a part of the international community for a few decades but not everyone agrees on what HDC-op is supposed to achieve. A group of people believes that HDC-op should aim at promoting human rights. Lately HDC-op has expanded and the projects are getting bigger. As a result HDC-op has been criticized and some even go as far as saying that it is useless while other say that it is very helpful. Three projects run by the Icelandic International Human Development Agency (ICEIDA) in Namibia are examined from the legal point of view. Then the compatibility of selected ICEIDA development projects in Namibia with international human rights standards is considered to see to what extend the ICEIDA projects promote human rights and to evaluate whether and to what extent they might better promote these aims. In order to do that the project are compared with the human rights section of the Namibian and the Icelandic constitutions as well as different treaties which these countries have ratified as well as the Millennium Development Goals (MDG).

Perception on Support Provided to Orphan Children in Foster Care Placement in an Urban City of Windhoek (Namibia)
Description
An account of the resource
M.A. Thesis: Linköping University (Child Studies) - "The overall aim of this study is to investigate the perception of support provided to orphan children in foster care placement in terms of education, care and support as well as protection by orphan children themselves, foster parents and social workers. Due to HIV/AIDS many children are being orphaned and are left behind without any visible means of support. HIV/AIDS remains undoubtedly one of the greatest challenges of the world today, as there is no part of the world that has not felt the devastating impact of the pandemic. This is already evidenced by the increase in number of orphans, child headed households and other vulnerable children affected by HIV/AIDS and the inability of the extended family system to provide such children with basic requirements such as shelter, food, medical care, education, love and support. The first chapter is focusing on the Magnitude of OVC in general and Namibia in particular. According to the National Plan of Action for OVC in Namibia, the total number of orphans and vulnerable children was estimated at 128 000 in 2007 (MGECW, 2007). According to 2001 Population and Housing Census the whole Khomas region had 6674 OVC, while Khomas urban had 5708 OVC, which means that in the Khomas region more OVC in an Urban areas while rural areas had less number which was 389 OVC (NPC, 2005). Chapter two presents a literature review and focuses on the phenomena of foster care placement. It includes the definition of terms such as an orphan child, a vulnerable child and foster care placement. It gives background details of foster care placement in general and foster care placement in the Namibia context. Also the support (care and support, education and protection) being offered to children in foster care placement are discussed. Chapter three focuses on the research methods and data collection of this study. The following elements are described in this chapter: Setting and samples, procedure, methods and methodological consideration, the role of the researcher, the limitations of the study and the ethnographic situation. Chapter four is devoted to the foster care placement legal framework in Namibia where the current foster care placement processes to access government grant to support foster families are discussed as well as foster care placement policy implications in Namibia. The conclusion of the findings on foster care placement processes is included. Chapter five consists of the analysis of the study. It provides the background information of the samples, questions, responses and interpretations of the main views of the respondents on the support provided to children in foster care placement in terms of care and support, education, protection as well as foster care placement process are provided in this chapter. Chapter six is focuses on discussions and conclusion. It includes major views of the respondents and the understanding of different voices of orphan children in foster care placement, foster parents and social workers who are professionals in this matter."

Description
An account of the resource
This collection contains full-text PDFs of various out of print books re: Namibian Studies. Most of these were published by small-name presses (such as the Finnish Anthropological Association), and for that reason they are hard to find.
Some of the out of print books can be found in other collections in this repository (such as the Basler Afrika Bibliographien); this collection is merely for those without their own. Efforts were made to receive copyright permission before uploading. For any questions or concerns, contact the webmaster.

Relevance, Rhetoric and Reality: National Development at The University of Namibia
Description
An account of the resource
"This dissertation is the product of, first, an exploration of the history of the concept of the Development University in Africa, and second, analysis of documents and a series of interviews in Namibia. The dissertation has the following goals: To situate the University of Namibia's commitment to national development within the Development University tradition, as well as within the context of Namibia's unique domestic educational history and present climate; To describe and analyse the formulation and implementation of the vision for UNAM's role in national development to date, highlighting successes and pointing out shortcomings and problems; Finally, to raise issues which have not been adequately addressed thus far in the debate about higher education and national development in Namibia The first chapter deals with the notion of the Development University, first looking at the origin of the concept, then moving on to the ways in which universities have been expected to contribute to development in Africa and the problems associated with those expectations. A new perspective on developmentalism within African universities will be suggested, within which the traditional notions of relevance, autonomy, and academic freedom must be re-examined. In the second chapter, Namibia is situated within the context set forth in Chapter One. Although in many ways Namibia resembles other African countries in its experience of and need for university education, the ways in which it is unique will also be explored here. Because part of UNAM's commitment to national development includes a commitment to learn from the experience of other countries, the ways in which Namibia does and does not resemble her neighbours hold important lessons for the path UNAM will (and should) follow. Chapters Three and Four are the products of the Namibian research. Chapter Three examines the formulation of the 'vision' of UNAM's role in national development., and proposes a model describing the three-part process of consensus building. decision making. and administration involved in the formulation and implementation of the viGon. Chapter Four is concerned with the practical implications of UNAM's commitment to national development. In particular, the focus will be on UNAM's development goals, on its new and restructured faculties, and major outreach projects. The conclusion analyses the picture presented in Chapters Three and Four, within the context laid out in the first two chapters. Recommendations and observation - based on staff interviews, as well as on the new perspective on university developmentalism -are made here, with a view toward contributing to the ongoing debate on higher education in Namibia."
