African Studies

Listed below are the broad areas of research expertise of the core African Studies staff:

Professor Tony Chafer French African policy in the colonial and post-colonial periods Anglo-French cooperation in contemporary Africa EU security policy in Africa The EU and the African Union Colonial memory in France and Francophone Africa Issues of immigration and identity in France.

Professor Margaret Majumdar Postcoloniality in the Francophone world Franco-Maghrebian relations French and Francophone political philosophy Francophone Maghrebian literature

Dr Natalya Vince Modern Algerian history Franco-Algerian relations Decolonisation and state- and nation-building in Africa Women's and gender history in Africa Colonial memory in France and Francophone Africa Issues of immigration and identity in France

Our disciplinary specialisms are diverse, and include history, politics, European Studies, International Relations, Development Studies and social studies. We are internationally recognised as a centre of excellence for the study of those parts of Africa which were formally under French rule ('Francophone Africa') and in the past decade we have increasingly developed this specialism in more comparative and transnational directions: for example, exploring British relations in Francophone Africa and French relations in Anglophone Africa, the shifting role of the EU in Africa and regional African relations. We currently have postgraduate research students and post-doctoral researchers working on topics including France’s relationship with Anglophone Africa in the post-1945 period (notably examining Rhodesia, Nigeria and Ghana), the role of the French armaments trade in the South African Apartheid regime and its relation to Gaullist foreign policy between 1964-1977, political re-imaginings of the Sahara during the Algerian War of Independence and the decolonisation of French West Africa and French Equatorial Africa, French colonial administration and policy in the 20th century focusing specifically on the management and organisation of colonial archives and an exploration of how social work and ideas of marginality in France were reshaped by decolonisation

2

Subject specialism The subject specialism for Pathway B on the MRes African Studies is the unit 'France and Africa: Decolonisation and Postcolonial Relations'. This unit provides a solid grounding in the post-Second World War history and contemporary politics of France and Africa, enabling MRes students to develop a broad knowledge of key events, themes and debates in order to identify and refine a specific area of interest for their research project.The unit explores the processes that led to the rapid decolonisation of France’s African empire, analysing the role and relative significance of French policy, international factors and African political movements in the decolonisation of French Africa. It concludes by providing an assessment of the nature of French decolonisation and the legacy of colonial rule in both France and Africa. It is taught through a mixture of lectures and seminars (weekly), individual tutorials and online learning. The unit is assessed at the end through two pieces of written work, totalling around 6000 words.

Politics and International Relations

Listed below are the broad areas of research expertise of the core Politics and International Relations staff.

The Role and Impact of Experts and Expertise in Policy-making research group The group project comprises three focused research streams:

The first explores EU-based networks of International Non-Governmental Organisations (INGOs) and International Organisations (IOs) and investigates resource exchange relations between experts and the diffusion of expertise. The aim is to explore IO and INGO interactions though networks, resource exchange relations between these two sets of actors and diffusion of accountability and transparency agendas and practices.

The second explores experts and expertise in European integration across time and policy sectors. Using mixed methods and frames, the aim is to examine from a temporal comparative perspective the role and nature of experts and expertise in select European Communities/EU policy areas; involving contemporary historians working on the 1970s/1980s and political scientists for the more recent period; examining sectors such as e.g. agriculture, environment, transport, health and the economy.

The third focuses on experts, international organisations, and the diffusion of policy ideas. The aim is to examine IOs and diffusion and the role experts play in this via for example the diffusion of policy ideas within IOs and across regional integration schemes. Additionally, it explores the role of experts as transnational mediators of expertise and the qualities that make experts good translators of expertise.
