Public value Co-creation in collaborative governance
This article seeks to examine how interactions within multi-actor systems of governance influence the co-creation of public value in the implementation of policies to address gender-based violence in a rural district of Tanzania. Using a framework of complex adaptive systems, we test the extent to which relations among different actors determine outcomes of collaborative governance in settings of high policy complexity. Our mixed-methods case stu…

Emerging Middle Powers, Transitions, and the Role of Turkey in a Changing International Order
In what ways are emerging powers affecting the liberal international order? This study examines the increasing influence of emerging powers in international affairs and how these powers may shape the new order that is emerging. We argue that the declining roles of existing international organizations and Western diplomatic interventions have paved the way for new actors, mostly emerging powers that are now leading various interventions. Yet resea…
Revisiting the Challenges and Opportunities for Emerging Powers in a Multipolar International System
What are the challenges and opportunities facing emerging powers in an increasingly complex international system? While existing studies on emerging powers have looked at their potential impact on the international order, fewer studies have focused on the challenges and opportunities that can negatively or positively impact the progress of emerging powers. This study examines the experiences of Türkiye as an emerging power since the turn of the n…
Rebel Fragmentation and Protracted Conflicts
The rise in splinter groups within rebel movements and opposition groups has serious implications for conflict resolution efforts. Yet existing literature has not sufficiently touched on the key implications and factors that lead to the split and fragmentation of rebel groups. One of the conflicts that have been impacted by the problem of fragmentation of warring parties is the South Sudan conflict. The Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) h…
Civil War between the Ethiopian Government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front
How does the 2020-2022 civil war in Ethiopia contribute to our understanding of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine? This study seeks to revisit the debate over the effectiveness of the R2P doctrine in the wake of increased intrastate conflicts. The objective is to assess the dilemma that arises with the implementation of R2P when governments are involved in the conflict and the international community is reluctant or unable to intervene…

Examining the Prospects of Consociational Power-Sharing as a Conflict Resolution Strategy in South Sudan
South Sudan has not escaped the world’s attention even after the signing of the infamous Revitalized Peace Agreement in September 2018 that for the 12th time brought the two antagonists –Kiir and Dr. Machar to the negotiation table since the conflict began in 2013. Even with the aura of a shaky peace, the main question is whether the new agreement will stand the test of time going by the history of the failed implementation of peace agreements. T…

South Sudan has not escaped the world’s attention even after the signing of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS) in September 2018. This agreement brought the main antagonists— President Salva Kiir and Vice-President Dr Riek Machar—to the negotiation table for the twelfth time since the conflict began in 2013. Even with the aura of a shaky peace, the main question is whether the new agreement will stand…
Investigative journalism and anti-corruption
What is the public perception of investigative journalism in Africa? This article seeks to examine the public perception and challenges facing investigative journalism in Africa. It uses the case of an investigative journalist called Anas from Ghana whose works have sought to expose corruption in the country and the continent. The article adopts a mixed-method approach that relies on descriptive, quantitative research design (basic numeral) based…
Multilateralism, Developmental Regionalism, and the African Development Bank
Promoting development in Africa has faced significant challenges partly because of the continent’s peripheral access to global markets as well as its internal geographical limitations on the movement of people, goods, and services. However, the African Development Bank (AfDB) and its “developmental” role has emerged as a practical and tailored approach to Pan-African development, especially in the midst of a growing crisis in global multilaterali…
The Geopolitics of Renewable Energy Transition in Eastern Africa
This paper focuses on the nexus between geopolitics and renewable energy in Eastern Africa. It sets out to explore the potential geopolitical implications of the transition to renewable energy in the region. The authors observe that there is increasing attention to renewable energy sources (wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, etc.) in the region with potential social, political and economic impacts. Existing literature on the region has focused on th…
China–Africa relations
This article examines the place of non-economic drivers in China– Africa relations. While existing studies are hinged on economic relations between Beijing and the continent, this study focuses on non-economic aspects that underlie Africa’s relations with China. Taking the soft power approach, the paper illuminates on the salience of attractiveness in international politics and interrogates sources of China’s attractiveness in the continent and c…
Democracy and Elections amid the Covid 19 Pandemic
How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected democratic processes? This paper seeks to examine the dilemma of public health crises during elections. We investigate how the pandemic and government-adopted measures to curb the spread of the virus have given room for abuse of democratic processes, especially in countries holding elections. Our study focuses on the May 2020 elections in Burundi, as it was one of the first countries to hold an election at t…
The Role of Regional Organisations in Economic Growth Among Developing Countries
This article seeks to examine how regional organisations in Africa are responding to the growing call for them to provide alternative approaches and models of economic development in the continent. The study interrogates the role of the African Development Bank (AfDB) as an agent of a changing global governance system and an emerging leader in Africa’s development journey. The article begins by reflecting on the debate of a decline in global gove…
How urban ‘informality’ can inform response to Covid-19
Urban green spaces in the wake of Covid-19 pandemic
This paper seeks to examine how the perception and use of Nairobi's urban green spaces (UGS) have been impacted by the Covid- 19 pandemic. The question of how the current pandemic and the resulting government policies will affect urban green spaces has remained elusive. Similarly, the relationship between public health crises and urban green spaces has not been well integrated in the current literature. This paper identifies a nexus between gover…
Sub-Sahara Africa and the Covid-19 Pandemic
How has Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) experienced the COVID-19 pandemic? This article seeks to examine the challenges faced by a region that was earlier expected to be the epicenter of the pandemic. The study identifies three critical stages that pose challenges for governments and development partners operating in SSA trying to avoid mass infections and the subsequent negative socioeconomic impacts of the pandemic. First, the article begins by examini…
Human Security
The South Sudan Peace Agreement signed in October 2020 between rival parties in the South Sudan conflict has elicited mixed reactions. Proponents of the deal are optimistic that finally, South Sudan, the world's youngest nation, will experience peace while skeptics look at previous failed peace agreements and contend that more needs to be done. This article agrees with the latter school by arguing that the 2020 agreement has adopted a state-centr…
The Somali Civil War
This study seeks to assess how the conflict in Somalia has transformed over the years and examines the merits of adopting a hybrid approach to peacebuilding. The article argues that given the changes experienced in the conflict and the sociopolitical and cultural characteristics of the Somali Society, a hybrid peace strategy which combines the traditional Xeer approach and contemporary counter-terrorism strategies can fill the gaps previous peace…
Covid-19 experience among slum dwellers in Nairobi
The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the socio-economic and health dimensions of many societies across the world. For those in urban informal settlements, direct and indirect negative impacts of the pandemic and the resulting government policies have had devastating consequences on their livelihood. As the virus continues to spread rapidly, the more popular measures such as curfews, lockdown, and working from home have overlooked the fate of slum dw…
Beyond the Yuan
This paper seeks to revisit the narratives surrounding China and Africa relations. While these engagements have attracted the attention of scholars and policymakers, the emphasis has been on the economic aspects and a little attention has been made to examine the role of non-economic drivers. This paper argues that even though economic drivers are significant, Africa and China relations go beyond economic drivers. It identifies non-economic facto…

Transnational Operations, International Reactions, and Legitimacy
Maintaining global peace and security remains an essential concern for many actors in the international system. To achieve this goal, both states and international organizations commend that action needs to be taken against perceived threats to national and international security. However, how to respond to these threats continues to divide the world. The declining role of the UN in peace enforcement, emergence of non-state actors, new forms of t…

How urban ‘informality’ can inform response to Covid-19
Modeling a Pandemic (Covid-19) Management Strategy for Urban Slums Using Social Geometry Framework
The purpose of this paper is to utilize social geometry framework to model a pandemic (COVID-19) management strategy in densely populated informal settlements in Kenya. Our central claim is that the containment strategy that was instituted to control spread of COVID-19 failed to recognize the socio-cultural and livelihood complexities of the urban slum residents. This unmitigated strategy predisposed the residents to risks of heightened transmiss…
Contemporary conflicts, cross-border military operations, and the declining role of the UN
This article examines an emerging trend of cross-border conflicts between states and non-state actors. It looks at the narratives fronted by Turkey and Saudi Arabia to justify their operations in northern Syria and Yemen, respectively. The authors argue that the increased inaction and lack of influence by the UN in response to such operations reaffirm states as the core actors in international politics and that national security and interests con…

Boko Haram crisis in Nigeria
Boko Haram activities in Nigeria and the larger West African region continue to attract international attention. This has prompted scholars and policymakers to examine the impact of the group and seek measures to eradicate its growing threat. However, existing literatures have focused on the ideology and nature of violence perpetuated by the group. Only a few studies have sought to examine the deep-rooted factors that motivate hundreds of young p…
