Abstract:In May 1998, President Alpha Oumar Konaré of Mali was granted an honorary doctorate by Michigan State University (MSU). On that occasion, a major symposium on democracy and development in Mali was convened. This volume contains many of the papers presented at the symposium, in addition to several revised and updated versions of previously published articles. All the chapters are the result of scholarly research and development work by MSU faculty or students. The work is presented in three sections: cultural and historical setting, on the political culture of French colonialism as expressed in the role played by Leon Louis César Faidherbe, Colonel Louis Archinard and Xavier Coppolani in the creation of Senegal, Mali and Mauritania, generational conflict in the Umarian movement as manifested in the political economy of the grain trade at Medine in the second half of the nineteenth century, colonial rule and the situation of women in francophone West Africa, and labour migration in rural Mali; economic and agricultural policy reform, notably food security, cereals marketing liberalization and the rice subsector, and the performance of the cotton subsector; and political innovation and the democratization process in Mali, including decentralization, civil society and political socialization, and agrarian politics.
