It adopts a perspective that underscores the central role of normative transfers in the formation and evolution of continental and regional political institutions. Central to this analysis is the concept of African agency, which highlights the active participation and influence of African actors in redefining global norms to suit local contexts. It critically examines how African agency manifests in various spheres of governance, including migration, climate change, security, health and gender. Highlighting instances where African nations assert their autonomy and influence global decision-making processes, challenging dominant narratives and frameworks, the book offers valuable insights into the dynamic and evolving nature of international relations, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and empowering African voices in shaping the future of global governance.
