Collapse of Societies in Africa under Globalization

我的主要目的是重新审视我的理论框架，分析我去年在实地调研中收集的文件，以完成报告。在这方面，我非常幸运地参加了发展中经济体研究所(IDE-JETRO)举办的以“南方的冲突和国家”为主题的研究项目。我的部分主要研究成果已经以书名的形式发表，书名为《后种族隔离时代南非冲突的新‘模式：持续的价值文化》(书名为Stag Volence，and Politics：Conflicts in Asia and African)。本文从种族隔离时代孕育的持续暴力文化的角度，对义勇军、出租车外等有组织暴力进行了分析。这是全球化下社会“崩溃”的一个样本，我努力吸收著名社会学家曼努埃尔·卡斯特尔斯的论点来阐述我的分析框架。除了这些调查结果外，我还提到南非非政府组织Mobo Songololo的成员就贩运问题撰写的非常有趣的研究报告。这一现象也与全球化密切相关，但绝不可能认为所有新现象都是从全球化中衍生出来的。我的观点是，在“地方”具有特殊意义的新语境中，新的现象已经出现，因为时间(在历史意义上)和空间都决定了这些地方的政治文化。

It was the main purpose to ne-examine my theoretical framework and to analyze documents collected in my field research last year so as to finalize report.In this regard, it was very fortunate to participate in a research project organized at the Institute for Developing Economies (IDE-JETRO) focusing on "Conflicts and States in the South." A part of my main research findings was already published in a form of a book part, entitled as "New 'Modes' of Conflict in Post-Apartheid South Africa : A Continuing Culture of Valence"(The book title was Stag Volence, and Politics : Conflicts in Asia and Africa). In this article, organized violence such as vigilantism and "taxi wai" was analyzed from the perspective of continuing culture of violence, which was fermented in the era of Apartheid. This was a sample of "collapse" of society under globalization.I made an effort to elaborate my analytical framework by absorbing arguments developed by well-known sociologist Manuel Castells. In addition to these findings, I also refer to very interesting research reports written by members of a South African NGO, Mobo Songololo, on the issue of trafficking. This phenomenon was also closely related to globalization.However, it is never possible to consider that all new phenomena have been derived from globalization. My point is that new phenomena have been emerging in the new context that "places" have special meaning in the sense that both time (in a historical sense) and space determine a political culture of these places.
