Enhancing
the Role of Traditional Leaders in African Governance
In Africa, there are several kinds of
chiefs and chieftancies, notes Dr Ray. In this study,
the research team is focusing on traditional leaders whose
offices predate the colonial period "because this
gives them an important source of legitimacy among their
people," he says. "Of course, things change
over time. To be a chief in one of these countries is
to have a referendum virtually every day on how you did.
Support for a chieftancy can erode, or it can regain."
Traditional
Authority Applied Research Network
The purpose of TAARN is to bring together
researchers, government and non-government policy-makers
and chiefs (i.e. traditional authority practitioners) in
order to discuss selected major policy questions so as to
produce results. TAARN is thus a network of those concerned
with applying research on chiefs to various development

A
Journal for the Study of Traditional Authority
This journal will electronically publish
refereed articles on traditional authority, especially those
related to policy. Shorter research notes and debates will
also be considered for publication. This journal is designed
to expand research communications on traditional authority,
thus augmenting the work of the Journal of Contemporary
African Studies, the Journal of Legal Pluralism, and other
fine journals. |
