Council of Ministers, Fifth Ordinary Session, Accra, October 1965 ; The preambles to the UN Convention and the OAU Draft Convention relating to the status of refugees in Africa are not identical in content though similar in aim or spirit since that of the OAU Draft Convention had to be formulated in such a way as to conform with the requirements of the OAU and the African political atmosphere.
Die 14 Beiträge des Bandes gehen auf eine Konferenz der Afrikanischen Politikwissenschaftlichen Vereinigung im Oktober 1998 zurück. Sie zentrieren sich um die Chancen Afrikas im Prozess der Globalisierung und dessen Wirkung auf den afrikanischen Staat; besondere Beachtung findet die regionale Integration. Ein erster Teil mit vier Beiträgen widmet sich den Wirkungen der Globalisierung auf den post-kolonialen Staat und seinen Optionen in diesem Prozess; ein Beitrag untersucht die möglichen Konsequenzen des WTO-Abkommens für afrikanische Ökonomien. Im zweiten Teil geht es in drei Beiträgen um Regionalisierung und regionale Kooperation (im Rahmen von SADC und der Indian Ocean Commission). Teil drei thematisiert den Zusammenhang von Globalisierung und Demokratie (hier ein Beitrag zum Staatszerfall in Guinea-Bissau und zur Identitätsbildung von Siedlern in Südafrika). Ein vierter und letzter Teil befasst sich mit Menschenrechten und Gender Politics in Afrika. (DÜI-Sbd)
The ASEAN summit of October 2021 showed the increased geopolitical importance of the Indo-Pacific realm. Today ASEAN is the most successful regional organization in Asia and the second largest worldwide behind the EU. The establishment of the New Asian-African Strategic Partnership (NAASP) more than 15 years before (2005) aimed to revive the Bandung spirit of the non-aligned movement of 1955. This time with a stronger focus on economic ties. In 2013 these countries counted around 620 million inhabitants or 8.8% of the world population. They wanted to fight colonialism and neocolonialism by promoting Afro-Asiatic economic and cultural cooperation. Almost all member countries gained sovereignty and political independence by the 1960s and 1970s, with the exception of Palestine. However, the aftermath of the Bandung conference also promoted negative developments, including the polarization of Asian countries, the strengthening of political authoritarianism and regional interventions. In addition, most countries continued to grapple with economic and political challenges, including poverty, debt burdens, backwardness, ignorance, disease and environmental degradation. Their access to the markets of the industrialized countries also remained limited. At the global level, the NAASP received little attention so far. Despite the longstanding rhetoric of Asia-Africa solidarity, Asia and Africa still lack formal institutional and trade links. Although interregional trade increased, Africa remained a small part of ASEAN with only around 2% of its total market. The most important trading countries of ASEAN with Africa were Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore, while South Africa, Nigeria and Egypt were the largest African import markets.

In France, the situation of African politics in the various disciplines is quite mixed: African political anthropology has declined considerably; at the same time, African politics formed, but remained rather marginal in the field of political science; African history, for its part, has invested in the field of politics in a very fragmented manner. Arguably, is the reduction in resources for research on the ground on the African continent something in these difficulties. What is the role of the methods and paradigms used in the study of African political phenomena? ; International audience ; In France, the situation of African politics in the various disciplines is quite mixed: African political anthropology has declined considerably; at the same time, African politics formed, but remained rather marginal in the field of political science; African history, for its part, has invested in the field of politics in a very fragmented manner. Arguably, is the reduction in resources for research on the ground on the African continent something in these difficulties. What is the role of the methods and paradigms used in the study of African political phenomena? ; En France, la situation du politique africain dans les différentes disciplines est assez contrastée : la place de l'anthropologie politique africaniste a considérablement reculé ; au même moment une politologie africaniste s'est constituée, mais elle est restée assez marginale dans le champ de la science politique ; l'histoire africaniste a, pour sa part, investi le champ du politique de manière très parcellaire. Sans doute la réduction des moyens destinés à la recherche de terrain sur le continent africain est-elle pour quelque chose dans ces difficultés. Quelle part y jouent les méthodes et paradigmes utilisés dans l'étude des phénomènes politiques africains ?
