Other articles focus on the extent of ‘missing mentions’ of Africa in the US media, South Africa’s access to the global financial safety net, Ghana’s artisanal mining sector, Gambia-Senegal relations through the constructivist lens, and the potential role of armed groups in post-Gaddafi Libya’s state-building process. The issue also includes four book reviews, including a review of Séverine Autesserre’s The Frontlines of Peace: An Insider’s Guide to Changing the World by Sven Botha.
