| Inhalt | This interactive seminar introduces participants to the study of African states and politics, taking its point of departure in key debates and concepts that have emerged in the post-colonial period. Drawing on the comparative politics and Africanist political science literature, we explore key political processes on the African continent ranging from elections, political regimes, service delivery to state-society relations. Students engage with important theoretical debates, country case studies and reflect on the challenges of understanding both state and non-state politics in Africa beyond Eurocentric cliches. |
