政治形态历史演变的经济分析

本力图提供人类社会政治发展的一般性解释体系，并以不同的经济生产方式创造和支撑相应的政治形态为论证视角。这一解释体系和论证视角为：人类社会自明化以来，依次经历了自然经济、小农经济与市场经济，相应历史地形成了神权政治、专制政治与民主政治。受经济发展水平和环境差异的决定与制约，上述依次递进的政治形态在各个明群落或国家的滞留时间和作用方式存在差异。     

Resisting,frustrating or embracing the urban agenda: Chieftaincies in Southern Africa examined constitutionally and statutorily

There is no comprehensive scholarship, which compares cases of how chieftaincies foster or hinder urban land use in Africa. What seems to exist are disparate pieces of literature focusing on different cases without offering a diagnostic picture of the way constitutions and statutes have been crafted across regions. The paper advances the argument that urbanisation is a reality and a sweeping force across the terrain of the global regions, Africa included. Proponents (such as Mbiba, 2017; Freund, 2007; Cirolia, and Berrisford, 2017) have argued that the best way to deal with urbanisation is to ensure a smooth transfer of land from chiefdoms into municipal areas, which inevitably and inadvertently ‘eat into the land of the chiefs’. A case study methodology was used through which the various national constitutions and ‘chief laws’ for selected countries were examined in terms of provision, hence the application of thematic content analysis of the documents. The selected case study is Zimbabwe. Among other issues explored in this study, it emerged that these states make the land delivery process cumbersome when chiefs dictate the pace of urban development. The study recommends the attenuation of the powers of chieftaincies based on collaborative negotiation for the sake of sustainable urban development.
