ABSTRACT
Through the First and Second Five-Year Plan, the Tanzania government has greatly expanded both the funds and the manpower which were put at the disposal of agencies promoting local development projects. The mechanisms of satellite development apparent in that corner of Tanzania. This chapter focuses on the power base, strategy and arena map of both parties in a dispute. It investigates the structure of arenas relevant to a competition or struggle. Game analysis tries to record and understand the processes triggered off by political actors attempting to change the existing distribution of resources and honour. Game analysis is particularly useful when it addresses itself to the study of political dramas, i.e. situations when the status quo is seriously threatened. The coalition of controllers denies most of the new opportunities to the poorer majority of the population, and plays a pivotal role in the distribution of the last resources of valuable land.
