Africa Working Group

The Africa Working Group aims at promoting intellectual and practical exchange between scholars and activists of African political economy, and those in other IIPPE working groups. It regularly contributes to the IIPPE annual conference to bring together activists and scholars of Africa who share an interest in radical approaches to political economy, acknowledging the power dynamics in capitalism and often with a critical Marxist perspective (visit here for more information). The call is open to contributions addressing themes that are relevant to central concerns of radical political economic analysis.

This year, the conference theme is ‘The State of Capitalism and the State of Political Economy’.
