This book delves into the dynamics between global governance architectures and the interplay of norms within contemporary Africa, shedding light on the continent's agency in shaping its own governance landscape. It adopts a perspective that underscores the central role of normative transfers in the formation and evolution of continental and regional political institutions. Central to this analysis is the concept of African agency, which highlights the active participation and influence of African actors in redefining global norms to suit local contexts. It critically examines how African agency manifests in various spheres of governance, including migration, climate change, security, health and gender. Highlighting instances where African nations assert their autonomy and influence global decision-making processes, challenging dominant narratives and frameworks, the book offers valuable insights into the dynamic and evolving nature of international relations, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and empowering African voices in shaping the future of global governance. Julien Durand de Sanctis is assistant professor of political science the International University of Rabat, Morocco, and visiting professor at Sciences Po Paris, France. As a researcher and consultant specialising in international security, his research interests include security issues in Africa, French foreign and defence policy in Africa. Yousra Abourabi is an associate professor of political science at the International University of Rabat, Morocco. She has published two books on Morocco as well as several papers related to issues of African governance. Her research focuses on comparative African governance issues related to the environment, migration and gender. Jean-Noël Ferrié is the director of research at the CNRS, France. He was dean of the Institute of Political Studies of the International University of Rabat from 2014 to 2021. As former deputy director of the Centre Jacques-Berque in Rabat and cooperation attaché at the French Embassy in Kabul, his work focuses on authoritarian regimes and democratisation in a comparative perspective.
