Beschreibung
This interdisciplinary volume brings together English and
French language contributions that add to an in-depth
picture of the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s current
state of affairs. The authors from various academic fields
who research and teach at universities in Africa, Asia and
Europe focus on political and economic perspectives,
education and civil society, health and environment, the
country’s international relations as well as historical
foundations. They analyse the problems the country is facing
but also point out where progress has been made, where
possibilities lie – and how these possibilities can come to
fruition.
Julien Bobineau (Romance Studies) and Philipp
Gieg (Political Science) are lecturers and researchers at
the University of Würzburg, Germany. They co-founded the
University’s Young Africa Centre and are members of the
Forum Africa Centre.
