    The next Lecture Series presentation, organized by the 'Centre for African Smart Public Value Governance' (C4SP) on Norms of Solidarity and Regionalism: Theorizing State Behavior among Southern African States is approaching.

     

    Topic:

    Despite many recognized ambivalences, "norms of solidarity" portray a dominant picture of foreign policy practices of Southern African states. However, norms of solidarity, state behavior among Southern African states, and regional integration arrangements are not only about material interests but also a social construction and turn to ideational concerns in the continent's decolonization, and emancipatory movements. Material interests as Rational Choice scholars have successfully shown how states behave towards each other in the region. Nevertheless, interests and preferences are also constructed through ideational concerns. Prof. Luwam Dirar attempts to theorize norms of solidarity in relation to Southern African integration arrangements in the upcoming C4SP Lecture Series.
