“…This contribution begins with shedding light on the structural fragility of these French research institutes abroad in order to explore, in a mirror image, the transformations of French "scientific diplomacy" and its policy of scientific internationalization, on the one hand, and those of the academic space of English-speaking Africa, on the other. The effects of these reforms, both in France and in Africa, depend on the historical trajectories of each national academic sector and are far from leading to the standardization of research spaces and practices (Provini 2015). Nevertheless, situated at the crossroads of these spaces under reform, the French institutes face multiple injunctions (e.g.…”

Since the 2000s, the literature on the ongoing higher education reforms in Africa has been increasing. The scientific discussion converges in an implicit and recurrent argument about the drivers of these policies. Given the involvement of international experts in the policy design, university reforms are often described as the output of the incentives of international stakeholders and the representatives of international organizations. The aim of this paper is to add a new variable to understand higher education reforms in East Africa, which has been neglected by scholars. In fact, the article sheds light on the determining role of domestic actors in the (re)negotiation of policy processes in Tanzania and Kenya, especially administrative and academic staff and students. Rather than evaluating the success or the failure of the reforms, this paper aims to highlight the power plays between a various set of domestic actors who reshape the outcomes of higher education policies. The paper crosses the experiences from the reform processes of the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania and the University of Nairobi in Kenya.

Gouvernement Et Action Publique

Resume L’analyse des politiques publiques connaît, depuis les années 1990, un engouement sur le continent africain qui se traduit notamment par la multiplication des études empiriques sectorielles et de programmes de recherche spécifiques. Pourtant, mener une analyse d’action publique sur la plupart des terrains africains soulève a priori des interrogations : ainsi, les cadres d’analyse se sont essentiellement construits autour d’expériences sectorielles nord-américaines et européennes et, de même, les capacités institutionnelles et sociales sont parfois si faibles sur le continent que la notion d’État y est elle-même discutée. C’est précisément à ce décentrement de l’analyse des politiques publiques par des périphéries, parfois réduites de manière abusive à la dépendance et à l’importation de techniques institutionnelles, que ce numéro thématique invite. Plutôt que de s’arrêter à la question de la validité du transfert de l’appareil théorique entre le Nord et le Sud, l’enjeu scientifique du dossier est, à partir d’études de cas du continent africain, de démontrer l’intérêt pour la sous-discipline de travailler sur des situations inédites : d’une part, afin de questionner la validité scientifique et prétendument universelle des résultats accumulés au Nord et, d’autre part, pour enrichir l’analyse des politiques publiques à travers des configurations d’action publique dans des situations et trajectoires nouvelles.
