Description
The papers on this panel track Africa's changing place in the global order, and think about global order from an African perspective. Some more historical papers track the visions behind global order embodied by the new African institutions created after the Cold War, and then reflected in campaigns for a more democratic UN Security Council. A more contemporary contribution asks how far such gains have been lost with the 'claustrophobic' consequences of Covid-19. Whilst more theoretical papers examine the adequacy of current theories of civil society regionalism, and of 'Global IR' from a decolonial perspective.
