POL251: African Politics and Globalisation

The theories and practices of globalisation may pose special challenges for Africa. The history of many African countries has been turbulent in the post-colonial period and in many the capacity of the state to govern has been questioned. The unit examines contemporary debates about the political processes of globalisation by focusing on Africa and its relations with other countries in the world.
