ABSTRACT Across Africa, One-Stop Border Posts are being rolled out as part of a continental/ regional integration agenda that seeks to facilitate the movement of people and goods. This article focuses on four OSBPs in East Africa and addresses the question, firstly, of how far they make a break with entrenched operational patterns within government bureaucracies, and secondly whether they represent a distinct type of border management regime? The article finds that while there has been progress on data sharing in Customs, the construction and management of OSBPs reflects the persistence of distinct institutional cultures within each country. Moreover, working practices involve practical workarounds which belie notions of a paperless border. Secondly, the article finds that OSBPs are unlike other border crossings and share some features with airports and seaports in that they have been designed to handle both cargo and people. But they differ in that they are not heavily securitized and represent co-produced spaces of interaction in which transporters and members of the surrounding community have helped to shape the organizational patterns. The outcomes fuse an official ideology of service, everyday bureaucratic practice and local understandings of ownership.

东非一站式边境哨所:第四种国家遭遇

摘要在整个非洲,一站式边防哨所正在作为旨在促进人员和货物流动的大陆/区域一体化议程的一部分推出。本文着眼于东非的四个OSBP,首先解决它们在政府官僚机构中根深蒂固的运营模式方面有多大突破,其次它们是否代表了独特的边境管理制度?该文章发现,尽管海关数据共享取得了进展,但OSBP的构建和管理反映了每个国家不同制度文化的持续存在。此外,工作实践涉及一些实际的解决方法,这些解决方法掩盖了无纸边框的概念。其次,文章发现,OSBP与其他边境口岸不同,它们与机场和港口具有某些共同点,因为它们的设计目的是同时处理货物和人员。但是它们的不同之处在于它们没有被高度证券化,而是代表了互动的共同产生的空间,在这些空间中,运输者和周围社区的成员帮助塑造了组织模式。结果融合了官方的服务意识形态,日常的官僚作风和当地对所有权的理解。
