Comparative Research Focus

Our primary focus is Comparative Research. We are therefore focused on exploring various levels of research scope, including cross-national and sub-national comparisons across African countries; regional organizations e.g., Economic Community of West African States, East African Community, and Economic Community of Central African States; continental and inter-continental organizations e.g., African Union and the European Union. This allows for a comprehensive analysis of similarities and differences across different geographical scales, from local to global, shedding light on the complex relationships between institutions, policies, and outcomes.

  • Cross-national Comparisons Across African countries
  • Sub-national Comparisons
  • Regional Organizations (ECOWAS, EAC, ECCAS)
  • Continental Organizations and Inter-continental (AU, EU)
