Contemporary Africa and the Foreseeable World Order sheds light on
the place of "Africa Agency” in the competitive and changing
global system. This book provides scholars, policymakers, and other
stakeholders studying and working on African issues with innovative
solutions, strategies, knowledge, insights, case studies, and
analyses to support decision-making on how best African states
should position themselves in the dynamic global system in order to
influence key decisions. Featuring themes such as the African Union
(AU) and the consequences of the discovery of oil in the
non-traditional oil exporting countries, the editors and
contributors have demonstrated why and how Africa’s position in
the foreseeable world order is largely dependent on the influence
of both existing and emerging world powers. .

There is often a moment in time that acts as a rallying point
around a particular issue. 2015 was one of those moments for women,
peace and security as numerous landmark anniversaries were
celebrated in the field. Africa has, in many ways, been the global
laboratory for the gender, peace and security agenda, not only
because of the number of conflicts occurring on the continent but
also because African regional organisations, governments and civil
society organisations have been at the forefront of striving for
gender equality and implementing United Nations Security Council
Resolution 1325. This book explores gender, peace and security in
Africa from multiple angles, including: the conceptual and
implementation challenges and shifts around women, peace and
security in Africa over the last 15 years; women's role as
combatants in national liberation forces in South Africa; the
dynamics of gender in the military through the lens of Kenyan women
combatants; food security through a feminist lens; and a series of
case studies on the nexus between gender and security in Zimbabwe,
Nigeria, Madagascar, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya and
Somalia. This book was previously published as a special issue of
the African Security Review.

Bringing together an interdisciplinary team of scholars, this
collection of essays intends to enrich and move our understanding
of southern African societies, and to contribute to the policies
and scholarship of the region, in a pan-African context. The
authors aim to vigorously re-examine the complex processes of
national liberation and the challenges of post-liberation identity
politics, democratisation and social transformation. They further
engage with political and cultural economies, in order to challenge
and deconstruct dominant discourses in southern African studies and
historiography. Taken collectively, the chapters constitute
critical reflections on the southern African component of the
pan-African ideal, the ongoing quest for a democratic renaissance
and greater regional cooperation and integration.
