Short about the thesis:
The thesis focuses on certain characteristics of the state and of state formation in Malawi, with particular emphasis on the effects of development aid. The methodological and theoretical approach draws primarly on social anthropology. Empirical research included multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork in Malawi during 2009. The thesis consists of three papers for publication in journals, each focusing on different aspects of the state and state formation, and an introductory discussion.
Papers:
- Chiefs and everyday Governance: Parallel state organisations in Malawi

- Making and shaping poor Malawians: Citizenship below the poverty line
