Uncovering African Agency: Non-State Actors and Sino–Ghana Relations
The burgeoning China–Africa debates often fail to consider questions of African agency and, in particular, the role played by non-state actors (NSAs)—such as civil society organizations (CSOs), the media, and local groups—to give greater voice to African agency in Sino–African relations (SRA). Drawing on qualitative methods (i.e., interviews and content analysis), this study examines the relationship and focuses primarily on the case of Ghana to …
Threat of political vigilantism to political security in Africa: A case of Ghana
Ghana is gradually building a political culture that seems to support political vigilantism. This is because the activities of vigilante groups have assumed a cyclonic nature. This study, therefore, seeks to assess the threat of political vigilantism to political security in Ghana and the roles of state and non-state actors in all of this. It explores the sources and the motivations for acts of political vigilantism and addresses the threat of po…
China’s economic boom and military advancement: Realist perspective of the Dragon’s global power and presence in Africa
Can and does realism explain the linkage between China's economic advancement and its ever-increasing hard power and global influence? Realists assert that a growth in a nation's economy triggers an upsurge in its craving for military or security advancement and power. Since the commencement of China's 'opening policy,' its economy has witnessed tremendous hikes, being ranked second to the US economy. A vital coincidence of this is the ever-incre…

Chinese covid diplomacy in Africa: Interrogating Zimbabwe’s experience
The COVID-19 pandemic has not only become a humanitarian issue but a geopolitical and geostrategic one as well. Informed by a soft power perspective and utilising a mainly qualitative-narrative analysis approach, this paper analyses China’s medical assistance to African states in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Zimbabwe is used as a case study. The study establishes that China’s medical assistance to African countries did not start in the C…
Kwame Nkrumah’s Intervention in the 1960s Congo Crisis: A Pan-African Geopolitics and Personality Trait
Utilizing archival materials and existing literature, the article examines the contending rationales motivating Nkrumah’s decision to support the UN mission in the Congo during the 1960s political crisis. Existing scholarship, to date, appreciates Nkrumah’s involvement from the perspectives of African camaraderie, anti-imperial mawkishness, and regional leadership. However, beyond these elucidations, the optimal focus should be driven by Pan-Afri…
A Soft Power Resource, Rationality and the Impact of Covid-19 on China’s Influence on Africa: A Case of Ghana
China features significantly in the Covid-19 narrative for good and bad reasons. The purpose of this paper is to test, empirically, the assumption that Covid-19 would negatively influence perceptions of China in Ghana, due to its perceived relationship with the pandemic. We characterise Chinese manufactured products as soft power resources and analyse the role they play in addressing the personal needs and interests of Ghanaians and how they affe…
Assessing Agency in Colonial Africa: Pan-Africanism as African Agency
This article critically examines the contributions of Pan-Africanism to the nexus of African agency debate in the broader spectrum of great power-small power relationships, particularly during the era of colonialism. The article puts special emphasis on the colonial empire as a great power and Africa as a small power in the tussle of what was known as the “gunboat diplomacy.” What were the approaches; who were the actors; what were the grand geop…
