From Enarques to Managers in Senegal. The third generation of the Senegalese political and administrative elite, largely made up of engineers and "managers", is in the process of dominating the field of power, at the expense of the enarques who themselves ousted the primary teachers, the elite which held sway from 1945-47 until 1962-63, in spite of the policy pursued by the French colonial administration, aimed at preventing the advancement of native personnel. With the restructuring of the education and training System after 1955, teachers progressively lost this privileged position, having failed to understand sufficiently early the changes then under way. Until 1970, enarques dominated the highest levels of the State, before moving into politics within the Socialist par- ty, in power since independence. Since the 1980s, their dominant position has been challenged by the "managers", who are essentially "techno-economists" who have not yet secured genuine politico-administrative power. To acquire this power, the managers are likely to make use, like their predecessors, of certain values and practices of traditional native society, while adapting them to the "business world". These include family or ethnie solidarity, the demands of the "commerce of honour and dignity", the search for the support of traditional or religious personalities, etc. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
