Abstract:
Fifty years ago, Tanzania and Germany concluded a bilateral investment treaty (BIT). The main features of this BIT differ from what is common today. The article examines the adequacy of the Treaty's stipulations against the backdrop of the controversies which the conclusion of the BITs has recently sparked in developing states and in Tanzania in particular. It discusses the nexus between the conclusion of the BITs and the inflow of foreign investments. As there is a general feeling among Tanzanian scholars that the BITs are too favourable to investors at the expense of local firms and legitimate policy objectives of the host state, various claims have been made with respect to the content of the investment treaties. Taking the Tanzania-Germany BIT as a case study, the article analyses these claims in the context of a global debate on the relationship between the need for the protection of foreign investors and sustainable development objectives. Finally, the future of the Tanzania-Germany BIT is discussed in the light of the post-Lisbon EU approach to the investment policy.

Abstract:
Writing thirty years ago the historian of the Majimaji rebellion, Gilbert Gwassa, emphasized the purely Tanzanian nature of the uprising, as seen in the ideology which he believed was the inspiration for the widespread war against German colonialism. To Gwassa, southern Tanzanians created an innovative, secular ideology after the turn of the twentieth century which enabled Africans to resist German colonialism supra-ethnically rather than locally. Gwassa was adamant that the Majimaji ideology owed nothing to outside influences.Gwassa's contention has been largely unchallenged despite obvious paradoxes. Majimaji emerged in a region widely permeated with Islamic influences by 1905, the time of the rebellion. Moreover, the Christian colonial power structure had been present in the outbreak region for some twenty years by 1905, while Christian missionaries had been active in Tanzania for almost forty years. By the time the Majimaji historical tradition was being written in Tanzania in the 1960s, the nation included many Muslims and Christians, including many of Gwassa's research informants, who helped shape his interpretation of Majimaji. Aside from these circumstantial suggestions of the possibility of an externally-influenced Majimaji tradition, a close reading of archival sources from the German period, including several documents which have not been considered in the historiographical tradition, suggest that Christian and Islamic influences helped to shape the writing of Majimaji, if not the resistance movement itself. This paper will examine some of these “Abrahamic” sources of the Majimaji tradition, and consider how they might have been used to formulate a Majimaji epic which has become a standard icon of early African colonial history.

Abstract:
Debates on the relevance of repatriation of indigenous human remains are water under the bridge today. Yet, a genuine will for dialogue to work through colonial violence is found lacking in the European public sphere. Looking at local remembrance of the Majimaji War (1905–7) in the south of Tanzania and a German–Tanzanian theatre production, it seems that the spectre of colonial headhunting stands at the heart of claims for repatriation and acknowledgement of this anti-colonial movement. The missing head of Ngoni leader Songea Mbano haunts the future of German–Tanzanian relations in heritage and culture. By staging the act of post-mortem dismemberment and foregrounding the perspective of descendants, the theatre production Maji Maji Flava offers an honest proposal for dealing with stories of sheer colonial violence in transnational memory.

Abstract:
Background/Objective: In a project of telepathology (TP) between German pathologists and a hospital in Tanzania, trained technical assistants have uploaded digital histological images onto the internet-based platform ipath. The diagnoses from 486 paediatric specimens were analysed. Methods: The investigation included diagnoses, either primarily done via TP or secondarily after a further workup of the paraffin-embedded tissue, which was sent to Germany for cases which could not be solved via TP. In the latter, the initial TP-diagnoses were compared with the results after re-evaluation. Results: The median age was 11 years. The cohort comprised 390 benign diseases (80.2%) and 96 malignant diseases (19.8%). For benign diseases, the most frequent anatomic sites were lymph nodes, skin, and soft tissue, breast, and head&- neck. Frequent diagnoses were non-specific inflammations and benign tumors. In malignant diseases, the most sites were lymph nodes, skin, soft tissue, head&neck, and ovary and the most frequent diseases sarcomas and lymphomas. The paraffin embedded tissue of 179 cases (36.3%) was shipped to Germany. With the concordance analysis, we could discover the man- datory necessity for the possibility of second opinion in difficult cases. Conclusion: An exclusively TP-support cannot meet all requirements of modern medical diagnostics. The education of local pathologists is imperative. Keywords: Telepathology; low income country; ipath; paediatric.

Abstract:
Late in 1907 a missionary from Kisserawe in German East Africa complained of a spate of ngoma ritual dances among the Zaramo people. In particular he singled out an ngoma conducted by women to ameliorate a drought that was threatening that year's maize crop. As the women danced around a well, dressed as men and brandishing muskets, they appealed for rain from ‘their god’. Several aspects of this ngoma make it remarkable. It occurred following the Majimaji uprising in German East Africa, which the Germans put down with such violence as to make war as a tactic of resistance unpopular if not untenable. The ngoma was attended by Christian and non-Christian African women alike, suggesting a purpose whose expediency cut across competing belief systems. Finally, although cross-dressing was an aspect of certain Zaramo rituals, the symbolic appropriation of men's social roles by dress and wielding of weapons made this ngoma anomalous and suggests that the participants were consciously and purposefully reshaping gender roles at this time. The timing and symbolism of the ngoma make it clear that it was a reaction to the threat of famine, which had become a recurrent aspect of Zaramo life by 1907 and a symptom of ongoing rural social change ushered in by colonial rule. The larger question is whether changing perceptions of gender roles intersected with the Majimaji war (1905–7), and whether Majimaji had an underlying meaning for rural Tanzanian societies that has escaped the attention of historians. If so, it suggests that the prevailing conception of Majimaji needs to be questioned and re-examined.

Abstract:
The documents originated by the German colonial administration in German East Africa are located in two main archives: the Tanzania National Archives in Dar es Salaam, where they are identified under the name “German Records,” and the Bundesarchiv in Berlin, where they are collected under the classification R 1001. This note aims to provide some general information regarding a part of the German Records, referred to as “German Maps,” which is collected at the University Library of Dar es Salaam.The German Records are a part of the holdings of the Tanzania National Archives, which also include the records of the British administration and various documents of the post-independence period. The German Records are a very well-known source for the history of the German presence in East Africa and they can be divided in two main categories: the documents of the Central Administration, cataloged with the numbers G 1-G 65, and the Private Archives, with the classification G 66-G 86. These records are very well cataloged and easily accessible thanks to the work of archival reorganization done by Peter Geissler between 1967 and 1969. His work was published in 1973 in a two-volume guide with the title Das Deutsch-Ostafrika-Archiv: Inventar der Abteilung “German Records” in Nationalarchiv der vereinigten Republik Tansania, Dar es Salaam. This guide offers a very useful overview of the records of the German colonial administration and is available for consultation in the Reading Room of the Tanzania National Archives. Also available in the Reading Room is a manual catalog which, in some cases, could be helpful in finding some documents that, owing to print errors in the edited catalog, have become difficult to find.

Abstract:
Why does sub-Saharan Africa exhibit the highest rates of gender inequality in the world? This article evaluates the contributions of Christian missionary societies in German East Africa to current socioeconomic gender inequalities in Tanzania. Previous studies ascribe a comparatively benign long-term effect of missionary societies, in particular of the Protestant denomination, on economic, developmental, and political outcomes. This article contrasts that perception by focusing on the wider cultural impact of the civilizing mission in colonial Africa. The analysis rests on a novel georeferenced dataset on German East Africa—based on digitized colonial maps and extensive historical records available in the German colonial archives—and the most recently available DHS-surveys. The results highlight the formative role of Catholic missionary societies in German East Africa in shaping gender inequalities currently witnessed in Tanzania.

Abstract:
Cervical cancer is the most common malignant tumor among women in Tanzania and other countries in tropical Africa. Genital schistosomiasis has been proposed as a possible cofactor in the genesis of this malignant disease that might contribute to its high incidence in regions where bilharzias is endemic. One hundred nine Tanzanian patients from an area with endemic bilharzias who were transferred to a gynecologic out-patient clinic were age-matched with 109 German controls. In patients and controls, separate samples were taken for cytologic assessment and human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA detection using the Hybrid Capture 2 assay (HC2) and PCR (GP5+/6 +). Samples that tested positive for HPV DNA with general primers were re-tested with HPV type-specific primers. After application of 3% acetic acid, punch biopsies were taken from any cervical lesion. Patients were interviewed for recent symptoms or clinical history suggestive of bilharzias. Urine samples from all patients were examined for the presence of schistosoma hematobium ova. Additionally six Tanzanian patients with invasive cervical cancer were included for separate analysis. Patients and controls had an identical prevalence of HPV-DNA (21.5%) using HC2. Based on PCR results with general primers, the corresponding prevalence was 34.5% for Tanzanian cases and 26.9% for German controls. A history suggestive of bilharzias and/or active schistosomiasis were associated with a significantly increased risk for infection with high-risk HPV types. We conclude that infection with Schistosoma hematobium seems to favor persistent genital HPV infection either by traumatizing the genital epithelium and/or by local immunosuppression.

Abstract:
The celebrated fossil locality of Tendaguru (Tanzania, East Africa) has been well known for its unique Late Jurassic dinosaur assemblages since the early decades of the 20th century. Recently, within the scope of the German-Tanzanian Tendaguru project, an expedition returned to Tendaguru with the aim of collecting microvertebrates, micro- and macroinvertebrates, plant fossils and new sedimentological and stratigraphical data. Applying a multidisciplinary research approach, the data collected were used to address various controversial issues regarding the Tendaguru Beds. These include their exact age, depositional environments and reconstructions of the palaeoecosystems in which the dinosaurs lived. <br><br> Field work resulted in a new standard section for the Tendaguru Beds. Preliminary biostratigraphic results, based on ammonites, charophytes and palynomorphs, support a Late Kimmeridgian age for the <i>Nerinea</i> Bed, an early Tithonian age for the <i>Trigonia smeei</i> Bed, and an Early Cretaceous (possibly Valanginian to Hauterivian) age for the <i>Trigonia schwarzi</i> Bed. Facies analysis of the Tendaguru Beds indicates environments ranging from storm- and tide-influenced, siliciclastic coastal barrier systems, ooid sand bar complexes and backbarrier tidal flats to sabkha-like coastal plains with brackish lakes and pools. Sedimentological indicators of palaeoclimate and palynological data point to a subtropical to tropical climate with pronounced dry seasons. In concert with sedimentological data, quantitative palaeoecological analysis of macroinvertebrates helped to finetune understanding of environmental factors such as substrate conditions, salinity, sedimentation rate and water depth. Along with abundant microvertebrate remains and fragments of fusain and cuticles, these new data have considerably improved our knowledge of the fauna and flora found in the Tendaguru Beds, and provide a solid basis for developing a better understanding of the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous Tendaguru palaeoecosystems. <br><br> To put the German-Tanzanian Tendaguru expedition in perspective, a brief review of previous activities is given and future research objectives are outlined. <br><br> Die berühmte Fossilfundstätte Tendaguru (Tansania, Ostafrika) ist seit Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts weltweit für ihre Dinosaurier aus der späten Jura-Zeit bekannt. Im Rahmen des Deutsch-Tansanischen Tendaguru Projekts fand im August und September 2000 eine Expedition in die Umgebung des Tendaguru-Hügels statt. Ziel der Expedition war es, umfangreiche Fossilaufsammlungen von Mikrovertebraten, Mikro- und Makroinvertebraten und pflanzlichen Fossilien durchzuführen und neue sedimentologische und stratigraphische Daten aufzunehmen. Unter Anwendung eines interdisziplinären Forschungsansatzes wurden mit den gesammelten Daten verschiedene, bisher kontrovers diskutierte Aspekte der Tendaguru-Schichten untersucht. Offene Fragen umfassten die genaue Alterseinstufung, eine Interpretation der Ablagerungsräume und die Rekonstruktion der Paläoökosysteme, in denen die Dinosaurier lebten. <br><br> Die erste Auswertung der Geländedaten führte zu einem neuen Standardprofil für die Tendaguru-Schichten. Vorläufige biostratigraphische Ergebnisse, die auf Ammoniten, Charophyten und Palynomorphen basieren, sprechen für ein Ober-Kimmeridgium Alter der Nerineen Schicht, Unteres Tithonium für die <i>Trigonia smeei</i> Schicht und Untere Kreide (möglicherweise Valanginium bis Hauterivium) für die <i>Trigonia schwarzi</i> Schicht. Die Lebens- und Ablagerungsräume der Tendaguru-Schichten reichten von sturm- und gezeitenbeeinflussten, küstennahen, siliziklastischen Barrieresystemen und Kalkooid-Barren über ausgedehnte Wattflächen bis zu sabkha-artigen Küstenebenen mit brackischen Seen und Tümpeln. Sedimentologische Anzeiger des Paläoklimas und palynologische Daten sprechen für ein subtropisches bis tropisches Klima mit ausgeprägten Trockenzeiten. Im Verbund mit sedimentologischen Daten ermöglicht die quantitative paläoökologische Analyse der Makroinvertebraten eine genauere Charakterisierung wichtiger physikalischer Umweltparameter wie Substrateigenschaften. Salinität. Sedimentationsrate und Bathymetrie. Zusammen mit den häufig vorkommenden Mikrovertebraten und Bruchstücken von Fusit und Cuticulen haben diese neu gewonnenen Daten die Kenntnisse über die Faunen und Floren der Tendaguru-Schichten erheblich erweitert und liefern die Basis für ein besseres Verständnis der in den Ablagerungen dokumentierten Ökosysteme aus Jura- und Kreidezeit. <br><br> Neben einem kurzen Abriss der Forschungsgeschichte werden die für die Zukunft geplanten Forschungsaktivitäten dargestellt. <br><br> doi:<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/mmng.20010040113" target="_blank">10.1002/mmng.20010040113</a>

Abstract:
This thesis examines the impact of the colonial past on contemporary development. More specifically, it investigates how colonial power – conceived as discourses which emerged during colonisation and their interconnectedness with the material world – continues to shape present-day ideas and practices of Development actors from the global North that intervene in the lives of people in the global South. The colonial legacy of German Development cooperation is under-researched, and postcolonial Development Studies have yet to examine specific policies and their implementation in detail. This study focuses on German Development intervention with a focus on population and reproductive health issues in Tanzania, a former German colony. In order to investigate the influence of colonial modes of thought and practice on contemporary Development, this thesis develops and implements the methodology of genealogical dispositif analysis. Genealogy traces the historical emergence of policies and examines their present-day persistence, while dispositif analysis is an extension of discourse analysis enabling the research of discourses and their relationship with practices, institutions, and political-economic conditions. The study thus analyses the emergence of German interventions in what is now Tanzania with regard to population and reproductive health during Germany’s colonisation of “German East Africa” and compares these interventions to present-day German Development cooperation in Tanzania, where reproductive health is one of the focal areas. Drawing on archives, interviews, and observations in Germany and Tanzania, this research finds similarities between contemporary German policy and practice regarding population control and colonial-era interventions. In particular, it shows how racialised, gendered discourses are connected to philanthropic legitimising strategies and the political economy of population control. In addition, policies and practices regarding obstetric care in contemporary German Development aid reflect hierarchies between Western and East African practices which are similar to those formed during colonial rule. Since the colonial period, East African obstetric care has been constructed as in need of catching up with German childbirth practices. In terms of how and with what effects colonial power is challenged in contemporary German Development cooperation, this research found that while narratives of German professionals reveal some doubt and uncertainty regarding dominant Development thinking and practice, they do not represent a fundamental threat to the persistence of colonial power. Colonial power tends to take effect in the face of and despite opposition. The thesis concludes that colonial power continues to significantly shape present-day Development policy and practice.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is formed of three separate essays. The essays are empirical in nature and use the Kagera Health and Development Survey from Tanzania. The survey spans a 19-year period offering a unique opportunity to study many long-run dynamic processes of development in rural Africa. In the first essay, a version of which was co-authored with Joachim De Weerdt, we use these data to shed light on how mass internal migration changes the nature of informal risk-sharing. By quantifying how shocks and consumption co-move across linked households, our analysis shows that migrants unilaterally insure their extended family members who remain at home. This finding contradicts risk-sharing models based on reciprocity, but is consistent with assistance driven by social norms. Migrants sacrifice three to five per cent of their consumption growth to provide this insurance, which seems too trivial to have a stifling effect on their growth through migration. The second essay studies the role of exogenous income shocks on long-term migration decisions. The results reveal that temperature shocks cause large fluctuations in household consumption and inhibit long-term migration among men. These findings suggest that liquidity constraints are binding and prevent potential migrants from tapping into the opportunities brought about by internal migration. The final essay focuses on child nutrition and examines whether under-nourished children are able to recover the height losses later in life. The essay questions the methods used in the existing empirical literature and challenges the conventional view that recovery is nearly impossible after five years of age. The empirical part of the essay documents how puberty offers an opportunity window for recovery in the case of children in Kagera.

Full text
Abstract:
In this thesis we investigate the supply side of farm households in the Tanzanian region of Kagera and incorporate the results into a welfare analysis of price shocks and trade policy options. The first chapter discusses the relevance of agriculture as an engine of growth and poverty reduction and introduces the context and the data used for the empirical analysis. The second chapter tests for separability of the households demand and supply sides and then estimates supply functions for the main crops. We find that separability cannot be rejected for this sample and that farmers are only partially responsive to price incentives. The third chapter analyses the role of market participation decisions and transaction costs for food supply. We find that transaction costs play an important role in households supply decisions. Moreover, we show that there is a positive although small supply response to prices once controlling for the unresponsiveness of self-sufficient households. The fourth chapter extends the standard welfare impact analysis of price shocks to incorporate supply and demand responses as well as the role of market participation and transaction costs. We find that the results are sensitive to the introduction of households' output, wage and consumption responses.

Full text
Abstract:
A running difficulty in African Studies (and beyond) is the need to reconcile modernity with difference, arising in attempts to account for the impact of colonialism as well as unequal international relations without lapsing into erasure of the manifold realities of African difference. Identifying the peasant vis-à-vis modernity as a salient instance of the problem, this thesis proffers a historical sociology of post-colonial Tanzania, where Julius Nyerere insisted that ‘If Marx were born in Tanzania he would have written the Arusha Declaration'. In saying so he was, in effect, pointing to the need, both programmatic and intellectual, to reconcile modernity and peasant-difference. Drawing upon international relations and the framework of uneven & combined development in particular, modernity is theorised as a process of fission whilst the peasant is cast as a protean subject thereof; the promised reconciliation can be achieved by rendering each as interactive. Building on this framework the main body of the thesis proceeds, encountering and engaging with the peasant-modernity problem along the way, to show the historical process by which a ‘citizen-peasant' social form emerged as combined development; an intellectual manoeuvre, moreover, that serves to conclude the reconciliation of ‘Marx' with ‘Arusha'. Chapters 1 and 2 establish the terrain and Chapter 3 supplies the methodological framework. Thereafter Chapter 4 sets out an account of the unevenness confronting Tanzania in the 1960s, linking that to its international relations in general and with China in particular to establish a pattern of interaction that Chapter 5 builds upon, revealing the Arusha Declaration as the starting point of a historical process from which the citizen-peasant arose, which is the key to the thesis as a whole. Chapter 6 completes the argument, pointing to the entrenchment of that form beyond its origins in the era of Nyerere's ‘African Socialism' taking the account up to the conclusion of the 20th century. Chapter 7 concludes, reflecting on the implications of the argument for the contemporary conjuncture.

Abstract:
One cannot study poverty in Tanzania without understanding the agricultural sector, which employs more than two-thirds of the population and accounts for nearly a quarter of national GDP. This thesis examines three themes that focus on the difficulties that rural Tanzanians face in achieving a reasonable livelihood: the adverse legacy of a failed historical policy, a difficult climate, and market failures. The first empirical chapter examines the legacy of the villagization program that attempted to transform the predominantly agricultural and rural Tanzania. Between 1971 and 1973, the majority of rural residents were moved to villages planned by the government. This essay examines if the programs e↵ects are persistent and have had a long-run legacy. It analyzes the impact of exposure to the program on various outcome measures from recent household surveys. The primary finding of this study is that households living in districts heavily exposed to the program have worse measures of various current outcomes. The second empirical chapter examines the role of reliability of rainfall, which is important in Tanzania as agriculture is predominantly rain-fed and a small fraction of plots are irrigated. This chapter investigates if households cope with this major risk to income by re-allocating their labor supply between agriculture, wage labor, and self-employment activities. This chapter combines data on labor allocation of households within and outside of agriculture from the National Panel Survey with high-resolution satellite-based rainfall data not previously used in this literature. The primary finding of this study is that households allocate more family labor to agriculture in years of good rainfall and more labor to self-employment activities in years of poor rainfall. Market failures are often cited as a rationale for policy recommendations and government interventions. The third chapter implements four tests of market failures suggested in the literature, all of which rely on the agricultural household model but di↵er in how market failures are manifested. The common finding of these tests is that market failures exist in agricultural factor markets in Tanzania, although significant heterogeneity exists. Markets are more likely to fail in rural areas, remote locations, and are more likely to affect female-headed households. Households are also more likely to face market failure when they try to supply labor to the market than when they try to hire labor from the market.

Abstract:
This chapter examines Bernhard Grzimek’s increasing inability to broker conservation politics in Tanzania during the 1960s as the country moved toward self-reliance and the Africanization of the wildlife sector. Grzimek found it difficult to make wildlife pay for themselves due to logistical problems of West German game-cropping projects, insufficient donations for expanding and maintaining Tanganyika’s national park system, and competition with Kenya for East Africa’s share of the wildlife tourism market. Such failures shaped and were shaped by Tanzania’s shift toward socialist development and Eastern Bloc partnerships that further jeopardized a tourism industry catering to foreign desires. Friction between Western conservationists and agricultural minister Derek Bryceson over Tanzania’s conservation priorities alienated Nyerere and other African observers, who resented international conservationists meddling in “national” heritage. The Africanization of the national park leadership in the early 1970s signaled that the fate of the Serengeti’s wild animals lay in Nyerere’s hands—not Grzimek’s.
