@AfricaSpectrum is now tied as the highest ranked African area studies journal.

We are indebted to our past EICs (@timglawion @ArriolaLR @grauvogelj ), editorial board, associate editors, anonymous peer reviewers, and our editorial assistant @thisisjignesh.

THANK YOU! 🥳🥇

🆕@AgbogaVictor's research shows that party switchers in #Nigeria benefit by gaining ballot access even though they face party retaliation. The persistence of two main parties despite such frequent switching challenges the notion of weak parties in Africa.

🆕@karolczuba argues that #Uganda’s regime extended to #Karamoja in order to subdue and exploit the region. Uneven state capacity is thereby used as a coherent strategy for control rather than a sign of an incongruent political system.

🆕@UrosKovacBg & Dorothea Schulz (@uni_muenster) examine how the Maa-speaking Il Chamus men respond to growing insecurity by drawing on long-standing #morality and the #Kenyan state. A wonderful read!
