SUMMARY:Final Conference of the Main Phase: Transitions – Past\, present and future of sustainable Governance in Africa
DESCRIPTION:During the main funding period (2020–2026)\, fellows and participants in a wide range of MIASA activities produced valuable insights into how issues of sustainable governance are interwoven with the societies\, cultures\, and politics in Africa and beyond. Scholars from a wide range of disciplines collaborated to address contemporary and historical issues\, providing compelling analyses within the framework of MIASA’s research programme on ‘Sustainable Governance’.The final conference of this phase thus provides a valuable opportunity to reflect on what has been achieved so far. MIASA’s starting point was to promote research perspectives and voices from the African continent and the Global South on sustainable governance within a global academic landscape that is still dominated by the Global North. Taking stock of the scientific results of the main funding phase therefore begins with the question of whether this has been achieved\, and if so\, how. Has MIASA contributed to challenging dominant theories and concepts related to sustainable governance derived in the Global North? What lessons can be learned to further develop MIASA after the final BMFTR funding phase?
