“…On one side of that line, the claim for the monopoly on the legitimate use of violence lies with one government in one capital; a few steps further, the claim lies with a different government in a different capital. (For an excellent overview of the development of the concept of sovereignty, see Reinhard 1999; on territory and the resources of domination, Storey 2012; Elden 2013).…”

What are the reasons for the extraordinary dynamism of many African border regions? Are there specificities to African borderlands? The article provides answers to these questions by analysing the historical development of African state borders’ social and economic relevance. It presents a typology of cross-border trade in Africa, differentiating trade across the ‘green’ border of bush paths and villages, the ‘grey’ border of roads, railways and border towns, and the ‘blue’ border of transport corridors to oceans and airports. The three groups of actors associated with these types of trade have competing visions of the ideal border regime, to which many dynamics in African cross-border politics can be traced back. The article contributes to African studies by analysing diverging political and economic developments in African countries through the lens of the border, and to border theory by distilling general features of borders and borderlands from African case studies.

“…In particular, the World Wars, based on their winners, were not only fought for national interest alone but also for democracy, global peace, and human rights. At the end of the day, the 20th Century was not only the century of state-organized mass terror (which could not, on this scale, have been organized any other way than by state) 24 ; it was also the century of ground-shaking normative progress, through which democracy was universalized and constitutional law transformed into global law, national human rights into global civil rights, the constitutional state sovereignty into democratic sovereignty, and the state of the bourgeoisie into a social welfare state. Between Europeans and Non-Europeans there always existed for hundreds of years the formal and legal unequal distribution of rights: Jurisdiction for us, authority for the others.…”

Dialectical snares: human rights and democracy in the world society

The paper starts with a thesis on the dialectical structure of modern law that goes back to the European revolutionary tradition and constitutes a legal structure that is at once emancipatory and repressive. Once it became democratic, the modern nation state has solved more or less successfully the crises that have emerged in modern Europe since the 16th Century. Yet, this state did not escape the dialectical snares of modern law and modern legal regimes. It's greatest advance, the exclusion of inequalities, presupposed the exclusion of the internal other of blacks, workers, women, etc., and the other that stemmed from the non-European world that furthermore was under European colonial rule or other forms of European, North American, or Japanese imperial control. Yet, the wars and revolutions of the 20th Century led to a complete reconstruction, new foundation, and globalization of all national and international law. The evolutionary advance of the 20th Century was the emergence of world law, and this enabled the construction of international and national welfarism and the global expansion of the exclusion of inequalities. Nevertheless, the dialectic of enlightenment returned and led to new forms of post-national domination, hegemony, oppression, and exclusion. The final section of the paper tries to detect some ideas and principles for how to overcome the crisis.
