However, since the seventeenth century until World War I, African leaders entered into economic and political agreements with foreign firms, early transnational corporations, and signed procurement contracts for the delivery of various goods and services. These contracts present the theorist with an interesting challenge: where (if anywhere) do we place procurement practices in the history of state formation in Africa? I argue that by entering into contractual agreements of various kinds with their European-Asian counterparts, African leaders made it difficult to interpret subsequent changes in global trade and processes of state formation from the vantage point of imperialism and/or colonial interests only. Drawing from various historical documents,1 the paper uses process tracing methods and analytic narratives to establish a relationship between historical contractual practices and state formation in the nineteenth-century East Africa. I trace the process through which local political leaders historically sought to secure monopolistic deals over trade with foreign entrepreneurs","PeriodicalId":227308,"journal":{"name":"What’s New in the New Europe?

In his discussion of Neville Chamberlain’s description of Czechoslovakia as “[a] faraway country of which we know little,”2 Kundera criticises the British Prime Minister’s justification of the Munich Pact and describes the signing away of Czechoslovakia as a shameless sacrifice of the small and insignificant [Czechoslovakia] for the greater [British] good. It can be said that Kundera’s negotiating chambers versus antechambers categorisation of world power complements his controversial notion of a particular “Czech destiny” [“Český úděl”]3, which led to his public row with Václav Havel (1936–2011), who believed one must be the master of one’s own political destiny.
