This handbook serves as a guide for practitioners who engage in dialogue on fiscal and economic policies in Tanzania. It focuses on the dialogue that was conducted within the frame of the Pilot 4 Research and Development project, which aimed to promote dialogue on economic and fiscal governance in Tanzania, and which created a platform for sustainable dialogue including public and private stakeholders from different Tanzanian regions. This handbook is based on the three studies and nine policy briefs that were published, as well as on the dialogue that took place between the various stakeholders during the seven consultation events that were organized during the project. The Pilot 4 Research and Development project (2019-2021) was run by PILOT4DEV and the Institute of Management and Entrepreneurship Development in Tanzania, under the lead of the Tampere Peace Research Institute (TAPRI, Tampere University, Finland). The project was co-funded by the European Union.

This chapter shows how, in feminist and related literature, nationalism, masculinity and body are related. In more conventional literature on nationalism, gender has been mostly absent. Feminists not only inserted gender into the field but also shed light over the embodiment of both masculinity and militarism. Feminists have challenged the view that the body is pre-political and showed how reproducing the community requires the disciplining of the body and its memories of social traumas. In drawing attention to the body, the chapter also points to the range of masculinities arising from nationalist struggles, and in particular militarised masculinities, considering the political consequences and human costs of ignoring them.
