🆕Why do politicians intervene in some chieftaincy succession disputes but not others? Read further👇

Xiran Chen’s analysis of two disputes in #Ghana demonstrates that blame lies with aspiring politicians from disputing #chieftaincy factions, who try to use politicisation to their advantage. 🖱️doi.org/10.1177/000203…

Also wonderful to meet the new editor! Henning (Melber) and me used the opportunity...

The current artist in residence introduced us to her work on “Nature Invasion” – and we had some time to highlight the collaboration between #CJAS and Africa Spectrum and future plans to deepen these ties. jg

It’s a wrap for the #HamburgScienceDelegation. Too many impressions to summarize, but certainly new prospects for enhanced cooperation (for example between #CJAS and Africa Spectrum), new ties forged & fruitful discussions about #democracy, #ClimateChange & #infections #research.
