Résumé
Le texte se situe dans le contexte historique de la décolonisation, du post-colonialisme, de la mondialisation et des « pays en voie de développement ». Dans ce contexte, les deux termes « développement » et « démocratie » sont utilisés partout, aussi bien dans le langage courant que dans le discours public et théorique, pas moins en ce qui concerne l’Afrique. Quelles différences de signification trouvons-nous ? Les différents concepts auxquels ils renvoient sont souvent perçus comme étant liés entre eux. Quelle perception peut-on avoir de cette corrélation? Ce sont autant de questions abordées dans le présent article. Des réponses imaginables y sont présentées et analysées. L’accent est mis sur les concepts existant aujourd’hui et leur utilisation réelle dans la compréhension et même le façonnement des réalités actuelles. L’analyse est effectuée à un niveau abstrait. Cependant, les fondements empiriques sont très terre à terre, établis depuis les années 1960 à travers de longues périodes de travail de terrain en Tunisie, Guinée-Bissau et Mozambique. Les références concrètes sont donc principalement en rapport avec les liens entre les politiques et les efforts des populations dans l’Afrique postcoloniale pour atteindre le « développement », au moment où les inférences théoriques sont d’ordre mondial. La réponse globale issue de cet article est que le développement, y compris le développement durable, répondant aux besoins et aux aspirations légitimes de la majorité est plus vraisemblable dans un contexte de démocratie substantielle que sous d’autres formes de pouvoir. La répartition du pouvoir politique à travers l’auto-responsabilisation démocratique est essentielle. La démocratie et le développement sont en effet liés l’un à l’autre – mais pas la démocratie quelconque et pas le développement quelconque, ni tout le temps.
