The Politics of Civil Society in Africa
A book titled The Politics of Civil Society in Africa: Foundational and Rising Issues in Governance and Democracy, edited by Dr Emmanuel Matambo, CACS Director of Research, and Prof Bhaso Ndzendze, Associate Professor and Vice Dean of Internationalisation at the University of Johannesburg, has been published by Cambridge Scholars.
It also features a foreword by Kgalema Motlanthe, former president of South Africa.
The book chronicles how civil society has interacted with time-honoured and current challenges confronting the African continent. It straddles democracy, human rights, regional integration, climate change, global pandemics, and technological transformation, and how civil society is shaping these.
As the continent with the youngest population but the poorest conditions, the clarion call that this book makes for a more activist civil society is brought into sharp relief.
