Burkina Faso Under the Presidency of Thomas Sankara – A Post-Developmental State ?
(2023-05)
Thomas Sankara, one of the most celebrated African idols, was president of Burkina Faso from 1983 until his assassination in 1987. The politics he realized with his government were vanguard in more than one regard: The country’s feminist politics queried patriarchy by promoting equal rights and duties for women and men in several different domains; along with the country’s citizens, migrants could participate in policy-making and thereby shape politics; redistribution was made a political goal aspiring to overcome ...

Foreign Capital and Economic Development
(2023-07)
The Irish political economy is notable for the sustained and central role of foreign investment in driving economic growth, notably via the commercial activities of multinational corporations, and more recently financial services. Beginning in the 1950s, the Irish state began to move away from its protectionist policies of import-substituting industrialization, and transitioned towards a liberalized, export-led industrialization model of economic growth in order to achieve its developmental catch-up. This has resulted ...

Community-Based Associations and Rural Development in Rwanda: A Local Perspective on the Contribution of Social Capital to Human Capabilities
(2022)
The post-World War II political discourse around development has stimulated academic debates in recent decades. While some of these debates simply aim to transform the development mainstream, many others among the post-colonial thinkers are more critical of and even reject mainstream development ideologies. Despite the valuable academic debates, most development practitioners seem to have remained unresponsive to some of the allegations. Their concept is incorporated in much of the contemporary political narratives ...

Ordoliberalism Out of Order? The Fragile Constitutionality of Greek Austerity (Part Two)
(2020-06)
This is the second part of a two-part post. The first part, available here, considered the historical background of the concept of constitutional order and its relation to the ordoliberal project. Judicial independence was examined in parallel with central bank independence, with each understood as a means of insulating policy from social and democratic pressures and also as a means of enacting and maintaining fiscal discipline and market-conforming order. It also included some preliminary observations on the relation ...

Ordoliberalism Out of Order? The Fragile Constitutionality of Greek Austerity (Part One)
(2020-05)
The architecture of the European Monetary Union (EMU) has often been understood to be built on a fundamentally ordoliberal framework. [1] The precise characteristics of what constitutes an ordoliberal framework are often not clarified, and they have been widely debated in contemporary scholarship. But a crucial characteristic of ordoliberalism, and one that has received comparatively little attention, concerns the importance of grounding economic policy in a “constitutional order”: ordoliberal political economy insists ...

Reporting Power
(2024)
An eclectic genealogy (Foucault, 1977) that reconstructs the previous understanding and emergence of a ‘taken for granted’ global practice: the practice of suspicious activity reporting. A governance practice whereby financial institutions worldwide document and report the conduct of consumers deemed suspicious. At the center of this practice is a material artefact, a multipage fillable form called the Suspicious Activity Report. Following Actor-Network Theory (Latour, 1987), the form also serves as the centerpiece ...
