Abstract

De afgelopen jaren kreeg Mali tweemaal af te rekenen met een militaire staatsgreep, wat resulteerde in politieke instabiliteit en internationaal isolement. Terwijl Mali zich steeds kritischer opstelt ten aanzien van het Westen, benadrukt het land haar succesvolle samenwerking met Rusland. Sinds december 2021 wordt ook de Wagnergroep in Mali gesignaleerd, een Russische paramilitaire organisatie die geassocieerd wordt met gewelddaden tegen Malinese burgers. In lijn met de principaal-agenttheorie benadert eerder onderzoek de Wagnergroep hoofdzakelijk als een onzichtbare arm van het Kremlin, waarbij Rusland via een derde partij haar invloedssfeer uitbreidt. Voorgaande studies conceptualiseren de organisatie vooral op basis van haar aanwezigheid in Oekraïne. De Malinese en bij uitbreiding de West-Afrikaanse context vormen een blinde vlek in de academische literatuur. Inzicht in de Malinese case is echter cruciaal om in te spelen op veiligheidsdreigingen en instabiliteit in de Sahel. In tegenstelling tot de eenzijdige principaal-agentbenadering benadrukt dit onderzoek het belang van multidimensionaliteit. Daarom werden de standpunten van meerdere actoren die verbonden zijn aan de Malinese case met elkaar vergeleken. Hierbij werd uitgegaan van een kwalitatieve inhoudsanalyse, gericht op schriftelijke persverklaringen van de Malinese overheid, Rusland, de Europese Unie en de Wagnergroep zelf. Uit de resultaten blijkt dat de Europese Unie de Wagnergroep in Mali vooral als huurlingen ziet die aangestuurd worden door Rusland. Het huurlingenstatuut is juridisch vastgelegd, wat mogelijk verklaart waarom de Europese houding bepaald wordt door haar sanctiebeleid en aandacht voor humanitaire inbreuken in Mali. De andere actoren blijken echter lijnrecht tegenover het Europese standpunt te staan. Zowel Rusland als de Wagnergroep zelf beschouwen de organisatie als een particulier militair bedrijf. Opvallend daarbij is dat Rusland benadrukt dat Wagner een private entiteit is met haar eigen commerciële belangen. Dit komt beperkt aan bod in Wagners motief. De organisatie werpt zich vooral op als een baken tegen de westerse inmenging in Mali en behoeder van Rusland haar internationale belangen. Deze divergerende motieven komen recent het meest tot uiting en lijken gelieerd te zijn aan de spanningen tussen Prigozjin en het Kremlin. Mali tot slot ontkent dat het een beroep doet op de Wagnergroep of eender welke niet-statelijke actor, en benadrukt dat haar strijdkrachten autonoom opereren. Dit lijkt een juridische afweging te zijn, al wijzen de resultaten er ook op dat de Malinese overheid mogelijk geen structureel onderscheid maakt tussen Wagnertroepen en de reguliere Russische strijdkrachten. Tot slot illustreert Mali’s houding hoe het land balanceert tussen invloedssferen, waarbij de dialoog van het afgelopen decennium plaatsgemaakt heeft voor confrontatie. Omgaan met deze nieuwe werkelijkheid vereist een diepgaande kennis van actoren hun divergerende perspectieven. Wat Wagners inzet in Mali betreft, levert dit onderzoek daar een eerste bescheiden poging toe.

Abstract

The future is omnipresent in school geography. Several present-day concerns are highly related to it, such as spatial planning, climate change and migration. A futures perspective is crucial so young people can develop knowledge and understanding of the world around them. They should also learn to behave as citizens in a future society. Nevertheless, present-day geography education seems to lack this futures perspective. Students need to master geography-related cognitive skills to think efficiently about their future. Systems thinking is such a skill, giving students an insight on the complexity of their living environment. Therefore, this research investigates whether systems thinking might foster students’ futures perspective. Within the scope of this master thesis research, a lesson module about urbanisation and spatial planning was developed and tested in class. This is one of the major themes in the geography-related curriculum of Flemish upper secondary education. One group of students received a traditional, teacher-centred instruction by means of an educational conversation. The other, experimental group followed a student-centred approach by getting to work with causal diagrams. These are a known systems thinking tool. After the lesson module, the comprehensiveness of students’ futures perspective was compared using four scenarios, which are visual representations of possible and preferable futures. Students had to extract arguments from these scenarios. During analysis, a distinction was made between variables and relationships. Both were qualitatively coded to test significant differences using t-tests. Relationships distinguished between associations and causalities. The latter could be either single or double, depending if a student mentioned a future evolution for one or both variables in a relationship. After the complete lesson series, students were also asked about their experiences with the course materials and the applied teaching approach. This research shows that systems thinking, and causal diagrams in particular, can be applied to foster students’ futures perspective. Despite the limited number of lessons, results show that students who follow a systems thinking approach tend to develop more comprehensive arguments. Results show that causal understanding is present in both groups. Nevertheless, those familiar with systems thinking mention significantly more double causalities, which are assumed to contribute to the comprehensiveness of their futures perspective. This demonstrates that systems thinking can serve the cognitive skills that students need to understand the complex world around them. Above that, students confirm enjoying systems thinking as an alternative approach to process the subject matter. This points out that systems thinking can be part of a diverse instruction in geography education and that it can facilitate teachers to implement a futures perspective in their teaching practice.
