The emergent technoscientific New World Order is being legitimised through discourses on openness and inclusivity. The paradox is that openness implies vulnerability and insecurities, particularly where closure would offer shelter. While some actors, including NGOs, preach openness of African societies, Africans clamour for protection, restitution and restoration. Africans struggle for ownership and access to housing, for national, cultural, religious, economic, and social belonging that would offer them the necessary security and protection, including protection from the global vicissitudes and matrices of power. In the presence of these struggles, to presuppose openness would be to celebrate vulnerability and insecurities. This book examines ways in which emergent technologies expose Africans and, more generally, peoples of the global south to political, economic, social, cultural and religious shocks occasioned by the coloniality of the global matrices of power. It notes that there is the use by global elites of technologies to incite postmodern revolutions designed to compound the vicissitudes and imponderables in the already unsettled lives of people north and south. Particularly targeted by these technologies are African and other governments that do not cooperate in the fulfilment of the interests of the hegemonic global elites. The book is handy to students and practitioners in security studies, African studies, development studies, global studies, policy studies, and political science.

Welches Wissen schafft Praxis? Wie hängen Forschung, Theorie und Praxis zusammen? Wie kann die Friedens- und Konfliktforschung hier eine Brücke sein? Wie kann Forschung in und mit der Praxis gemeinsam stattfinden?
Mit diesen Fragen beschäftigt sich der Workshop, der auf Erfahrungen des Praxis<->Forschungsseminars basiert, das 2017/2018 im Marburger M.A. Friedens- und Konfliktforschung als einjähriges Forschungsseminar stattfindet und Studierenden die Möglichkeit bietet, ihre Praxiserfahrungen forschend zu begleiten.
Im Workshop werden wir einen Einblick in unsere Erfahrungen mit dem Seminarprozess geben, indem wir unser Seminarkonzept vorstellen und einzelne Methoden gemeinsam anwenden, um das Verhältnis von Wissenschaft und Praxis zu erkunden. Wir wollen einen Reflexions- und Diskussionsraum für die Frage anbieten, welche Rolle dieses Spannungsfeld im Studium der Friedens- und Konfliktforschung einnehmen sollte.
Gemeinsam mit den Teilnehmenden des Workshops wollen wir Perspektiven für diese Form der Praxisforschung diskutieren und in die Zukunft einer stärkeren Integration von Praxiserfahrungen im Studium blicken. Wir freuen uns, wenn Teilnehmende ihre eigenen Fragen und Erfahrungen an und mit Praxisforschung(slehre) mitbringen.
As the Chinese economy continues to grow, increased commercial engagement with Africa will offer the continent new and rewarding prospects for trade, investment and economic development. The challenge is for Africa to grasp these opportunities and take full advantage of China's friendship and willingness to co-operate. The Forum on China-Africa Co-operation (FOCAC) provides a mechanism for all-inclusive diplomatic consultation to advance China Africa co-operation and to effectively manage expanding economic inter-dependence. FOCAC is a political arena for developing Sino-African co-operation and problem solving. FOCAC also provides an important framework for developing a common development agenda. Given new global trends towards antiglobalisation, FOCAC's importance is expected to increase in the years ahead. This book seeks to strengthen the China-Africa relationship and offer new suggestions for both policy makers and scholars seeking to understand and advance FOCAC for mutual benefit. FOCAC holds the key to Africa's development and long-term prosperity. The new policy initiatives and proposals outlined in this study make a very valuable contribution to strengthening FOCAC and advancing Africa's economic development.
