摘要

文献将坦桑尼亚视为在非洲建立和维持民族团结的典范。尼雷尔的领导魅力、斯瓦希里语的作用和社会主义的采用等因素被认为是实现团结的原因。然而，自由民主的采用削弱了这些因素的影响力，从而导致出现了对民族团结的 "威胁"。要克服这些威胁，需要采取一些机制，如消除潜在的 "裁判 "和将过去神圣化，但这对民族团结的可持续性构成了威胁。因此，当务之急是促进民族共识和对民族团结的自愿认同。

A Breakable Bond or Unity at Any Cost? Rethinking the Control Mechanisms Against the ‘Threats’ to National Unity in Tanzania

The literature treats Tanzania as an exemplary case in building and sustaining national unity in Africa. Several factors such as Nyerere’s charismatic leadership, the role of the Kiswahili language and the adoption of socialism are credited for this unity. The adoption of liberal democracy has, however, decreased the influence of these factors, hence leading to the emergence of ‘threats’ to national unity. Overcoming these threats has involved several mechanisms such as neutralizing potential referees and canonizing the past, which nonetheless pose a sustainability threat to this unity. Promoting national consensus and voluntary affinity to this unity is thus an imperative.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS) was founded in 1965 to further research and study on Asia and Africa. JAAS is a peer reviewed journal of area studies recognised for consistent scholarly contributions to cutting-edge issues and debates. The journal welcomes articles, research notes, and book reviews that focus on the dynamics of global change and development of Asian and African nations, societies, cultures, and the global community. Published articles cover: -development and change -technology and communication -globalization -public administration -politics -economy -education -health, wealth, and welfare -poverty and growth -humanities -sociology -political science -linguistics -economics JAAS adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. However, while it is hoped that a decision can be made in 6-8 weeks, the refereeing process makes it impossible to predict the length of time that will be required to process any given manuscript.
