Description

This course will examine contemporary African politics, institutions, and ideologies. We will consider key factors that affect politics within African states, such as colonialism, nationalism, socail movements, and regional politics. We will also consider the role of the African Union within African politics. We will seek to identify general pattenrs and differences across African states. Through this course, students will gain an understanding of African politics broadly, detailed knowledge about particular African states, and an understanding of the key political institutions, such as the African Union.
