SAJIA Volume 33.1 is now available to read on the Taylor & Francis website. This issue brings together a diverse collection of articles examining governance, intervention, development and international cooperation across Africa and the Global South. Several contributions engage with the evolving role of non-state actors and rebel governance in conflict-affected contexts, exploring how insurgent movements, external interventions and weak state institutions reshape political authority and security governance.
The issue also includes analyses of subsidiarity and peace operations in Somalia, Islamist insurgencies and the prospects of emirate-style governance in Africa, and the governance functions of armed groups in Mali. Other contributions examine rebel organisation and post-conflict state-building, the Responsibility to Rebuild in post-intervention Libya, China’s emerging ‘Hunan Model’ for Africa-focused development cooperation and climate cooperation between India and South Africa.
The volume features five insightful book reviews offering further reflection on themes such as global inequality, authoritarianism, liberation movements, African leadership and infrastructure-led development.
