Politics of the belly, a translation of the French term politique du ventre, is a Cameroonian expression popularised by Jean-François Bayart in his 1989 book L'État en Afrique: La Politique du Ventre to describe African political power in the post-colonial era. It refers, in particular, to the relationship between patrimonialism, clientelism, corruption, and power. According to Lynn M. Thomas of the University of Washington: "The politics of the belly points to the propensity of politicians to hoard and greedily consume resources in things and people. In addition to highlighting the significance of idioms of eating and the belly to African conceptions of power, Bayart's analysis insists on the importance of vertical relationships – those between social unequals such as [...] patrons or clients – to understand African political history." (en) La Politique du ventre est un concept qui désigne une manière d'exercer l'autorité avec un souci exclusif de la satisfaction matérielle d'une minorité. Il a été développé par Jean-François Bayart dans son ouvrage L’État en Afrique : la politique du ventre. (fr) |
