Contentious Territorial Alliances: Coalition Politics and Struggles over Urban Development in Pikine, Senegal

Abstract: Les litiges territoriaux qui concernent la gestion et l’aménagement des espaces urbains occupent un rôle central dans la recherche sur la gouvernance urbaine dans les pays du Sud. A partir du travail de terrain réalisé par l’auteur à Pikine, une ville qui s’est rapidement urbanisée dans la région de Dakar (Sénégal), cet article montre comment la géographie politique de Dakar se transforme par les reconfigurations spatiales engendrées par des stratégies territoriales multiples et superposées visant au développe… Show more

“…Here, territorial alliances—as these modes of interaction are labelled by the author—are also constantly negotiated and reconfigured. Quite similar to what has been described in the context of flood response in GRN, actors invest in these coalitions in their struggle to secure their access to urban land (List, 2015). The particularities of the governance configuration for flood management-related services found in this case study also extend beyond the borders of Pikine and Senegal, with common traits in the governance of public services found across West African countries such as Benin, Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso, where community associations and municipalities, for example, share similar modes of functioning and difficulties (Olivier de Sardan, 2014).…”

“…Rather, the ability to respond to floods is maintained through a mixture of various governance modes (statal, associative, individual and aid-driven forms), depending on the capacity of municipal actors and residents to combine these, through co-production by service providers and users. These new relations formed between state and non-state actors, are also found to play an important role in the context of territorial struggles in Pikine (List, 2015). Here, territorial alliances—as these modes of interaction are labelled by the author—are also constantly negotiated and reconfigured.…”
