Description
This panel presents a range of innovative ways of approaching the global dimensions of African politics, with a particular focus on post-conflict societies. It includes a study of the effect of international orthodoxies on local perceptions of Nigerian counter-terrorism; an exploration of participatory video as a means of amplifying women's perspectives on oil conflict in the Niger Delta; a new approach to the African airport as 'gatemaker' not 'gatekeeper'; a comparative study of the trust in the police in post-conflict societies, in both Africa and Latin America; and an analysis of legitimation work by Chinese NGOs.
