Amadou-Mahtar M’Bow
Amadou-Mahtar M’Bow passed away at the age of 103, leaving behind a legacy defined by his desire for a just and equitable world. He will be remembered for his commitments to knowledge and multilateralism, and to diplomacy as both a condition of freedom and a necessary instrument of a better future. First as Minister of Education in Sen- egal and then as Director-General of UNESCO, M’Bow championed causes and laid agendas for the twentieth century…

La commercialisation des légumes et les stratégies résilientes des femmes cheffes de ménages dans la zone du lac Tanma durant la pandémie de Covid-19 (Sénégal)
Cet article s’inscrit dans une réflexion sur la vie des femmes rurales du Sénégal en période de restriction des mobilités pendant le Covid-19 dans un contexte où la survie des ménages dépend en grande partie de l’apport des femmes grâce aux recettes tirées des différentes activités, notamment la commercialisation des légumes. L’objectif est de faire une analyse de la situation en mettant en exergue les difficultés rencontrées par les femmes duran…
Space and the Geopolitical
The paper argues that the dominant geopolitical analysis draws from a tradition of thought that privileges a geographical approach to space. The process that extends such impetus most compellingly can be found in security intervention. Interventionism, specifically under the War on Terrorism (WoT) thinking projects a cartography of (in)security and threat that disrupts on the one hand existing dynamics of space production and on another redefines…
Introduction
Au-delà de la crise au Sahel
The international
The currency arrangement also provides France with a political leverage that has often been activated against “non-compliant” leaders. The discipline itself emerged out of an intellectual taxonomy that made concerns over the “domestic” and the “international” two distinct endeavors. A charismatic autodidact who became an international symbol of the fight for Africa’s independence from colonialism, Patrice Lumumba was born as Elias Okitasombo on J…
The slave, the migrant and the ontological topographies of the international
An examination of the figure of the slave and the figure of migrant make visible important historical interconnections that sustain past and present elaborations of the human and 'the international'. These interconnections have always been racialised and they have structurally constituted the making of an interdependent world community. A series of instrumentalised discourses, at times turned into rationalities that govern policies towards migran…
The imperative of African perspectives on International Relations (IR)
This article argues that location, as both geography and epistemology, can be a place of innovation in the discipline of international relations (IR). Specifically, it suggests that a re-appropriation of IR as a product of a global history in which the Global South, in general, and Africa, in particular, played an important role can help displace the moral and historical centrality of Western theory where it has failed to give credence to ‘periph…
Ransoming, Compensatory Violence, and Humanitarianism in the Sahel
Nonstate transnational actors have long played a central role in Sahelian economic structures and geopolitical arrangements because of their capacity to constitute sources of authority and sustenance outside and across state structures. Recently, subversive battalions (qatiba) have resorted to kidnapping, raiding, and ransoming as a means to social justice with a redistributive dimension. Parallels can be drawn with authority structures associate…
The Political Economy of Ransoming in the Sahel
This paper is part of larger project that is concerned with social, political, cultural and ideological processes that underpin ongoing transformations in the Sahel. It is particularly interested in the economic basis of violence, radicalized forms of militant engagement and shifting identities in
Le « boom » des saisons dans l'espace sahélo-saharien
Le Sahel connaît des crises structurelles sur lesquelles les acteurs formels n’ont guère de prise. La diffusion des printemps arabes vers le sud du continent a accéléré et intensifié son intégration dans les processus mondiaux, au point que la stabilité de la région tout entière s’en trouve menacée. L’incapacité des États sahéliens à innover sur le plan de la gouvernance et à satisfaire les attentes de leurs populations, conjuguée à la ruée sur l…
The (In)Commodities of Laissez-faire Integration
The weekly market of Diaobé, one of the largest international market-towns in West Africa, is a place of convergence for sellers and buyers from Senegal, the Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone and Mali. At the same time that they trade, negotiate and exchange agricultural products and manufactured commodities, people renegotiate the terms of regional integration in creative, albeit informal ways. In the absence of formal channels of regu…
Practitioners research their own practice
A recurring problem in many African countries is that the results of research carried out in public health programmes are often not used by programme planners and managers. Collaborative research, which involves programme practitioners in applied research projects with social scientists, can strengthen the link between programme research and its application in programme implementation. In this paper, the rationale for a collaborative research app…
