“…Disappointed by the development model that had been pursued since independence, which had aimed at attracting FDI and aid, Nyerere increasingly emphasised the importance of socialism and selfreliance, 'Ujamaa na Kujitegemea'. He did not oppose aid, but emphasised that the main impetus should come from within, also in the light of recent aid cuts by major development donors (Kimambo et al, 2017). TANU's Policy on Socialism and Self-Reliance (the Arusha Declaration), therefore stressed the value of hard work as the main impetus for development.…”

Social protection has become a more important part of social service delivery in Tanzania over the last couple of decades. This paper analyses the politics behind the making and implementation of the Productive Social Safety Nets (PSSN), a cash transfer scheme that became part of a broader, existing scheme aimed at poverty reduction and rural development, TASAF I-III. We trace the interrelationship between the domestic policy process and the shifting influence of transnational ideas. We argue that the introduction of TASAF and later PSSN was strongly influenced by international trends, driven by a policy coalition of bureaucrats and development partners, but that it was sanctioned by the country's political elites, who at times used the programmes for electoral purposes. This happened for instance by influencing the scale and speed of PSSN's implementation prior to the national elections in 2015, despite a tradition of scepticism towards cash transfers within the ruling CCM party. Recently, President John Magufuli's more productivist ethos, emphasising the importance of work, poses a threat to the programmes' continuation. This may also reduce the targeting of the poorest of the poor, which constitutes a major element of PSSN as we know it.

Why are East African Players Absent in European Football? Localizing African Football Migration Along Structural Constraints, Colonial Legacies and Voluntary Immobility

While studies on transnational African football migration have increasingly attracted scholarly attention, little is known about the continent’s regional particularities. However, in contrast to the massive influx of footballers from West and North Africa, squads of European professional clubs seldom include players from East Africa. Yet, the concentration on West Africa in academic studies runs the risk of overgeneralizing certain practices on the African continent and, hence, of reproducing Africa’s standing as the homogeneous peripheral other. By analyzing the various historical, structural, and socio-cultural reasons for the general absence of migrant footballers from East Africa, we aim at contributing to a more nuanced picture of African football migration and further discuss the ambivalent consequences of players’ spatial immobility for East Africa’s football development.

“…In-fighting over territorial dominion continued throughout until the arrival of colonial powers. This marked a shift in focus towards a new threat posed by the presence of colonial powers (Kimambo, 1969;Duignan, 1977;Iliffe 1979). Figure 10, shows that peaks in political and social instability occurred in 1906, the period 1940-1955, and the period 1977-1984.…”

Indicators of Political and Economic Institutions in Tanzania: 1884–2008

This paper is part of series of studies focusing on the measurement and definition of institutions. This paper presents a database on institutional measures for Tanzania for the period 1884 to 2008. These indicators are used to assess the nature of political and economic institutional transformation from the colonial legacy to the modern outcome, using Tanzania as a natural experiment. The paper argues that despite changes in colonial regimes, the broader framework of institutions remained partly the same. This is reflected in the post-independence period in Tanzania, where the title of the president was substituting the governor titles in some land laws. Similarly, draconian laws similar to the colonial laws were enacted to curtail political freedom in the post-independence period. JEL E02 K00 N4 O1
