1.The Global Order Debate and Africa -- 2.Conceptualising Marginality: Africa’s Place in the Global Order -- 3.The African Security Regime Complex: Innovation in a Decentered Global Order Expert Interview: Gilbert Khadiagala -- 4.International Criminal Justice as Normative Order: Africa and the ICC Expert Interview: Navi Pillay -- 5.Economics Expert Interview: Carlos Lopes -- 6.COVID-19 and Global Order Expert Interview: Richard Mihigo -- 7.Conclusion Marginal but Meaningful: Analysing Africa’s role in Global Order.

This book focuses on marginal actors in the global order. Such a perspective is often missing as global order analysis is often biased towards exploring large powerful actors and equating their relations with global order. Such an approach is not only dated but also analytically incomplete. It is because of the increasingly decentred nature of global order, that marginal actors and their relations, tactics, strategies and approaches matter for global order as they matter for these actors. The book starts by providing an analytical framework exploring different policy options for African agency which are located along a nexus of choices ranging from accommodation, engagement to system transformation. The selection of a particular interaction type is argued to be dependent on external opportunity structures in the form of different global orders reaching from competitive polarity to dispersed forms of authority or even non-polarity. In addition to these external conditions, the ability to generate meaningful African agency facilitates a greater role in global order. Empirically, the book covers four policy fields which are peace and security, international criminal justice, economics and trade and COVID-19. Malte Brosig is Associate Professor in International Relations at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.
