    Barney WalshARTICLEThe Round Table2026

  • Leadership in Crisis

    Open AccessFunmi Olonisakin, Barney Walsh et al.ARTICLELeadership & Developing Societies2025

    COVID-19 posed an intense and prolonged threat to many aspects of societal life. Its global reach and impact was truly remarkable. This situation demanded a response that went beyond that of social mobilisation in “normal” times: it required the rapid deployment of the aggregation of an entire population and its resources to fight against this threat to their common existence. Societal mobilisation in this sense, was thus critical to an effective…

  • Women's overlooked contribution to Rwanda's state-building conversations

    Open AccessDavid Mwambari, Barney Walsh et al.ARTICLEConflict Security and Development2021Cited by: 4References: 40

    This paper does not directly engage the state-formation, political settlement and state-building debates in Africa but it foregrounds the notion of conversation as the lens through which to examine Rwanda’s state-building history. In particular, it explores an overlooked perspective from Rwanda’s state-building trajectory by focusing on a particular class of actors – women – whose voices also contributed to inter-elite and elite-society state-bui…

  • Revisiting Regional Security Complex Theory in Africa

    Open AccessBarney WalshARTICLEAfrican Security2020

    This article revisits Buzan and Waever’s Regional Security Complex Theory (RSCT), and asks what is the utility of Buzan and Waever’s RSCT framework in understanding African security issues? It includes theoretical insight and criticism of RSCT whilst simultaneously providing an empirical case study of Uganda’s President Museveni within East Africa. It focuses in particular on a period between 2010 and 2015 when East African security dynamics were…

  • China’s Pervasive yet Forgotten Regional Security Role in Africa

    Barney WalshARTICLEJournal of Contemporary China2019Cited by: 1References: 6

    This article argues for a re-examination of China’s engagement with Africa. Rather than offering broad continental generalisations, or concentrating only on individual country case-studies, researchers and analysts would be better served by recognising and understanding the specific and varied regional contexts in which relations occur. Utilising Hettne’s conception of regionalism and regionalisation processes, and over 100 field work interviews,…
