{"title":"Does economic complexity enhance governance quality in Africa?","authors":"Ronald Djeunankan, Brice Kamguia, Sosson Tadadjeu","doi":"10.1080/02255189.2023.2268801","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/02255189.2023.2268801","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThe importance of governance in promoting economic growth and its crucial role in the achievement of other Sustainable Development Goals have been largely discussed in the literature. Given the importance of governance and the desire of all nations to ameliorate the level of governance, a growing literature has engaged in understanding its determinants. This study attempts to contribute to this literature by examining, for the first time, the effect of economic complexity on governance using data from 32 African countries over the period from 2002 to 2019. We elaborate four governance indicators based on a principal component analysis. Results provide strong evidence of a positive relationship, suggesting that moving to higher levels of economic complexity leads to better governance performance. We identify human capital, foreign direct investment, and income inequality as some transmission channels through which economic complexity promotes governance. Based on these results, several policy implications are discussed.RÉSUMÉL’importance de la gouvernance dans le développement de la croissance économique, ainsi que son rôle crucial dans la réalisation d’autres Objectifs de Développement Durable, ont été longuement débattus dans le milieu académique. Ce rôle important qui lui est donné, ainsi que la volonté de toutes les nations d’améliorer leur niveau de gouvernance, ont mené à un nombre croissant d’études ayant pour sujet la compréhension des déterminants de la gouvernance. Dans cet article, nous contribuons à cette littérature en analysant, pour la première fois, les effets de la complexité économique sur la gouvernance dans 32 pays africains, en nous basant sur des données collectées entre 2002 et 2019. Au fil d’une analyse en composantes principales, nous dégageons quatre indicateurs de gouvernance. Nos résultats indiquent l’existence d’une relation positive, suggérant ainsi que l’adoption de niveaux de complexité économique plus élevés mène à une meilleure performance de gouvernance. Nous identifions le capital humain, les investissements directs étrangers, et l’inégalité de revenus comme certains des canaux de transmission par le biais desquels la complexité économique stimule la gouvernance. En nous basant sur ces résultats, nous considérons les implications politiques de cette relation entre complexité économique et gouvernance.KEYWORDS: Economic complexitygovernanceAfricasustainable development Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 For instance, according to a recent report on the Global Terrorism Index, Nigeria’s Boko Haram represents the deadliest terrorist organization with 6,644 deaths.

Bien que les influences néolibérale et néocoloniale puissent structurer certains aspects des échanges sociaux en volontourisme, la dimension affective des expériences vécues a un impact sur la manière de percevoir l’égalité entre acteurs Nord-Sud.

Following field research conducted in 2020 with three organisations, the results demonstrate that Guatemalan experiences have been generally positive. Although neoliberal and neocolonial influences can structure certain aspects of social exchanges in voluntourism, the affective dimension of lived experiences has an impact on the way of perceiving equality between North–South actors. Analyzing the affective dimension of the experience makes it possible to identify other repercussions of voluntourism that go beyond the politico-economic dimension.MOTS CLÉS: volontourismeGuatemalathéorie de l’affect de l’échange socialdimension affectivedéveloppement DéclarationAucun conflit d’intérêts n’a été rapporté par les auteurs.FinancementCe travail a été financé par le Fonds de recherche Société et Culture Québec (FRQSC) [numéro de subvention 258887]; Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada [numéro de subvention 756-2018-0758].Les autricesCaroline Beauchamp est diplômée de la maîtrise en sciences sociales du développement, concentration développement international de l'Université du Québec en Outaouais (UQO).
