| Goals | The main objective of the course is to provide students with a graduate reading portfolio on the tensions, problems and the general functioning of politics in Sub-Saharan Africa and to gain an academic understanding. In this context, the concepts such as order, disorder and development will be discussed in the context of African politics. Throughout the semester, the perspective of the course will be as critical as it is analytical. In other words, this course also aims to introduce students to a critical approach to theoretical approaches to claiming African politics. |
