Abstract

In diesem Beitrag beschreibt Marie Lechler die langfristigen Folgen indirekter Kolonialherrschaft in Namibia. In einer Analyse gemeinsam mit Lachlan McNamee hat sie den Effekt mithilfe eines räumlichen Regressions-Diskontinuitäten-Ansatzes identifiziert. Dieser nutzt die willkürliche Teilung Namibias Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts in einen direkt und einen indirekt beherrschten Teil. Im indirekt regierten Teil Namibias überließen die Kolonialmächte traditionellen Führern die Verwaltung. Diese haben auch lange nach dem Ende der Kolonialzeit einen großen Einfluss in ihren Gemeinschaften. Die empirische Analyse zeigt, dass Menschen im ehemals indirekt regierten Teil weniger demokratisch eingestellt sind und dass die Wahlbeteiligung in diesem Teil des Landes geringer ausfällt als im ehemals direkt regierten Teil.
