Politics and Development in Contemporary Africa

Politics and Development in Contemporary Africa is published in association with the International Africa Institute.

Politics and Development in Contemporary Africa is a series that seeks to provide accessible but in-depth analysis of key contemporary issues affecting countries across the continent.

Featuring a wealth of empirical material and case study detail, and focussing on a diverse range of subject matter – from conflict to gender, development to the environment – the series aims to give scholars the platform to present original and often provocative arguments.
