This volume, co-edited by Prof Bhaso Ndzendze, Prof Scarlett Cornelissen, and Dr Laurence Caromba, examines power transition in international politics from an African perspective. It argues that African states have real strategic agency and can actively shape international outcomes in their own interests. It draws on history, international relations theory, and current geopolitical trends, with contributions from researchers across South Africa and the rest of the world.

We hope you will join us for an engaging discussion about Africa’s place in a shifting global order.
