This course focuses on the domestic politics of Africa since independence. The main themes have been selected to familiarise students with some of the key issues in contemporary debates chiefly about domestic African politics but also concerning the interaction with international dimensions.
Throughout, an emphasis is placed on the critical questioning of mainstream orthodoxies in both the academic and policy-oriented literature. The core themes are the state, conflict, local and 'traditional' politics, new social forces and democratisation. During the course, the themes are illustrated with comparative examples from across the continent.
