| description | Throughout their history, sub-Saharan African countries have experienced the (mis)appropriation of several global social and political arrangements, the Nation-State being one of those (both in its growth and its decline stages). The Nation-State represented no more than one in the midst of countless cases, whilst such arrangement was dragged into wide scale global processes. In the last decade, the widespread dissemination of one specific form of Nation-State (both liberal and democratic at once, at least in its manifest political ideology) shaped sub-Saharan Africa in an even way. Moreover, it led to very complex political relationships in a variety of locations between the State and local power figures, such as the Traditional Authorities. Therefore, in the following text a relevant issue will be approached in order to understand the political dynamics, but also – and for the most part – so as to understand the contemporary socio-political relations between the State and Traditional Authorities. Such theme encompasses the foundations of the legitimacy of domination, as well as the socio-political strategies and skills of the political agents in question. Accordingly, the political field is, par excellence, the analytical platform where such «legitimations» and «legitimacy claims» are best expressed by the political agents under analysis: the State and Traditional Authorities. |
