The purpose of this webinar is twofold. A first pedagogic aim is to discuss the (re)centering of the commons in Africa around the cultures of local communities in the regimes of historicity deployed at the global level but with strong resonance in the most “remote” or unsuspected. Then, there is a second functional objective which concerns the scientific animation of the IASC-Africa region.
The web conference aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers on the governance of shared resources in Africa. With this web meeting, we hope to get a large exposure to the research done in Africa by African scholars and scholars abroad.
