Beschreibung
This paper investigates the reconfiguration of spatial ordering underneath the facade of state institutions. In the context of an 'open economy' regime, this reconfiguration is not about a straightforward deterioration of the state, but rather a transformation of political topographies. Such transformations, however, play out differently in different regions. In Africa, one needs to keep in mind the specific trajectory of modern state formation: states have been a colonial import imposed by force, and empirical statehood has remained limited. What is weakened and transformed is thus very different from the ideal-type Weberian „Anstaltsstaat“. To analyse current rescaling processes and how the „re-articulation of public/private, global/local distinctions and relations“ (Abrahamsen and Williams 2009: 12) work, one needs to take off the glasses of state centrism and be aware of the „multiple modernities“ (Eisenstadt 2002) in which broader processes of spatial reordering play out.
