                <text>"Demokratisierung und Dezentralisierung sind zentrale Ziele der gegenwärtigen Entwicklungspolitik. Namibia hat diese Zielsetzung aufgegriffen und zumindest formal umgesetzt. Die kritische politische und wissenschaftliche Diskussion entzündet sich vor allem an der Frage inwieweit auf der nationalen Ebene Demokratie tatsächlich verwirklicht ist. Dieser Beitrag nimmt dagegen die Wirkung von Demokratisierung und Dezentralisierung auf der lokalen Ebene in den Blick. Im Zentrum steht dabei die Siedlung Hoachanas im abgelegenen Süden Namibias. Hoachanas war weitgehend von der formalen Verwaltung Namibias abgeschnitten und unterstand einer traditionellen Autorität. Im Rahmen der Dezentralisierungspolitik sollte die Siedlung durch die Errichtung eines auf demokratischen Prinzipien beruhenden Gremiums in die nationalen Verwaltungstrukturen integriert werden. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die auf der nationalstaatlichen Ebene nach westlichen Vorbildern entwickelten Konzepte von Demokratisierung und Dezentralisierung im Prozess ihrer Umsetzung auf der lokalen Ebene umgearbeitet werden und im lokalen Kontext als Instrumente lokaler politischer Auseinandersetzung dienen. Dezentralsierung bewirkt in diesem Fall erst die wirksame Einbezieung von Hoachanas in das nationalstaatliche Verwaltungssystem und Demokratisierung eröffnet neue lokale politische Arenen."</text>

                <text>Are there ways and means of measuring democracy and “good governance”? The contributions to this Discussion Paper present attempts to do this by means of surveys on democratic attitudes in Mozambique and Namibia respectively as well as by exploring the degree of commitment to and violation of human rights in a comparative perspective in Namibia and South Africa. They illustrate attitudes by offering empirical evidence of the preferences and views of local people, as well as by examining the track record of a human rights culture. In doing so, by going beyond a level of theoretical analysis, they offer concrete evidence of attitudes prevalent among both individuals and state agencies in societies of Southern Africa.</text>
