Description
This panel examines a variety of more-or-less internationalised statebuilding trajectories from across the African continent. They examine the consequences of armed rebellion for ex-liberation movements turned-governments in the Horn of Africa, the consequences of decolonisation for insecurity in Lusophone Africa, the relationship between counter-terrorism and stability in Somaliland, collapsing confidence in Nigerian democracy, and ways in which development interventions outside state structures have empowered rural elites against the central state in Ethiopia.
