Course Description:
The focus of this course is Western Africa, the westernmost region of the African continent. During the course, we will try to understand the complexity, variety and fluidity of politics in this part of Africa. Perhaps more than any other continent, politics are not always what they seem on the surface; they vary tremendously from place to place; and they change sometimes quickly and radically. While the course focuses more heavily on the events of the last two decades, approximately one quarter of the course delves into the political history of the precolonial, colonial and independence eras. Assessment: midterm and final exams.
