The fall of authoritarian regimes in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya has
changed political dynamics on the African continent. One immediate
concern has been the implications of these developments for the
African Union (AU) and its member states. Would overall political
dynamics in the AU be changed? Would the most powerful member
states use the altered circumstances to enhance their influence on
AU policies andframeworks? What would the impact be for the AU's
overall authority? In this Discussion Paper series, three edited
papers are presented that tackle AU political and institutional
dynamics in light of the Arab revolts. A particular puzzle
addressed is the current postures of South Africa, Ethiopia and
Algeria within the AU. A separate analysis of Nigeria's role was
published earlier in the NAI-FOI Lecture Series on African
Security. The work in this discussion series reflects the
longstanding collaboration between the Swedish Defence Research
Agency's Project Studies in African Security and the Nordic Africa
Institute to build Africa-related research capacity on peace and
security.
