“…In a similar vein, there is considerable evidence that British colonies displayed a higher degree of democratization after independence (Olsson, 2009;Lee & Paine, 2019). 2 This is again attributed to the lasting effects of colonial institutions, namely the earlier establishment of colonial legislative bodies (Ojwang, 1980, p. 298) and native elites being integrated into colonial governance through elected advisory councils or as middle-level administrators (Lee & Schultz, 2012, p. 11-12;Lehning, 2013). Overall, the British, under the Lugardian policy of indirect rule, preserved the traditional indigenous hierarchies and cooperated with the native authorities (Tankebe, 2008;Bauman, 1997;Woods, 1988;Geschiere, 1993, p. 159;Crowder, 1964, p. 198).…”

Colonially inherited institutions are a key determinant of the regime type and economic outcomes of postcolonial countries. This study extends this claim to civil-military relations, arguing that former French colonies are especially likely to invest in structural coupproofing. France created paramilitary units throughout its colonies for which many natives were recruited. After independence, these paramilitaries proved persistent and were consequently used to counterbalance the regular armed forces. In contrast, countries without existing paramilitary organizations had stronger militaries which deterred and even forcibly prevented structural coup-proofing. Quantitative tests using global data on coup-proofing and a paired comparison of civil-military relations in Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana support the claim that former French colonies are more likely to heavily invest in counterbalancing. By showing how French colonial institutions provided post-independence governments with the opportunity to coup-proof, the study contributes to our understanding of civil-military relations as well as the institutional long-term effects of colonialism and foreign rule more generally.

“…This sequence of the analysis relies on three movies: The Sheik (1921), Suez (1938), and Thief of Bagdad (1940). The structure we utilize is that of European colonialism (Lehning, 2013). From the mid-1800s to the mid-20th century, much of the Middle East was under the political control of various European powers; France, Italy, and especially Britain held sway over the majority of the Muslim population across the world (MacEoin and Al-Shahi, 2013).…”

So long as the Arabs fight tribe against tribe, you will remain a little people, a silly people. T.E. Lawrence to Sharif Ali in Lawrence of Arabia (1962). The sense of Islam as a threatening Other-with Muslims depicted as fanatical, violent, lustful, irrational-develops during the colonial period in what I called Orientalism. The study of the Other has a lot to do with the control and dominance of Europe and the West generally in the Islamic world.

“…Cette séquence de l’analyse repose sur trois films : Le Cheik (1921), Suez (1938) et Le Voleur de Bagdad (1940). Le cadre de référence que nous utilisons est celui du colonialisme européen (Lehning, 2013). Du milieu du XIX e siècle au milieu du XX e siècle, une grande partie du Moyen-Orient était sous le contrôle politique de diverses puissances européennes ; la France, l’Italie et surtout la Grande-Bretagne dominent la majorité de la population musulmane dans le monde (MacEoin et Al-Shahi, 2013).…”

Résumé La diffusion, à des fins marketing, d’images controversées représentant l’islam dans les pays occidentaux a récemment eu comme conséquence plusieurs décès. Il serait opportun que les chercheurs en comportement du consommateur s’intéressent à l’impact sociétal de ces représentations qui sont idéologiquement chargées. Notre recherche analyse et interprète les stéréotypes liés aux musulmans dans les films américains, en mobilisant un cadre qui intègre des notions d’économie politique et des perspectives coloniales/postcoloniales occidentales.
