Preserving interventionism: how professionalisation secures the survival of electoral assistance Canadian Journal of Development Studies / Revue canadienne d'études du développement Pub Date : 2023-02-20 Eva Johais
ABSTRACT As long as 20 years ago, electoral authorities in African states had apparently gained the capacity to manage electoral operations on their own. However, the continent still accounts for the largest share of electoral assistance. The article argues that electoral assistance survived because it contributed to the institutionalisation of the election profession on the continent. The article

UK aid to Africa: ‘nationalisation’ and neoliberalism Canadian Journal of Development Studies / Revue canadienne d'études du développement Pub Date : 2023-02-07 Melita Lazell

It concludes that the securitisation of aid to Africa, as a framework for understanding donor motivation, morphed, by the close of the 2010s, into the ‘nationalisation’ of aid.

ABSTRACT This article explores the dichotomous co-production of ‘corrupt unions’ and ‘shareholder-driven corporations’. It argues that discourses of Zambian union corruption convolved national political history, shifting moral economies and global responses to organised labour’s disempowerment; obfuscating the structural causes of low wages and under-development.

Innovation as translation in Indigenous entrepreneurship: lessons from Mapuche entrepreneurs in Chile Canadian Journal of Development Studies / Revue canadienne d'études du développement Pub Date : 2022-09-13 Daniela Soto Hernández, Marcelo González Gálvez, Piergiorgio di Giminiani
ABSTRACT Discourses of innovation are prone to homogenisation, and as such, their effects in the development of Indigenous enterprises are highly ambivalent. The elusiveness of innovation can also work as a flexible set of ideas through which Indigenous entrepreneurs reconfigure existing commercial practices. Focussing on two Mapuche enterprises, this article explores how innovation in the context

Unions against neoliberal reform: Argentina's first attempt under democracy Canadian Journal of Development Studies / Revue canadienne d'études du développement Pub Date : 2022-07-13 Juan Pedro Massano
ABSTRACT After the military dictatorship (1976–1983), the neoliberal offensive in Argentina continued under the newly formed democracy. One of its expressions was the labour reform bills proposed by Alfonsín’s administration during 1986. Such reform mainly sought to limit unions’ right to strike and promote company-level bargaining. These elements added to the broader structural adjustment that had
